Your RIGHT! Because the sprinkler contractor is now the only one that does his layout in 3D he visualizes all of the problems the others call "Field Conditions". Architects get really pissed off when you point out that they and their consultants didn't co-ordinate space above the ceiling even with their own structural engineer. Yeah the ceiling to bottom of floor is 36", and there are recessed lights in the ceiling with lenses that make them 8" deep. And yes you clearly show the 16x30 duct, and the cable tray and our main is only 6", so what's your problem? COULD IT POSSABLY BE THAT W30 beam we're all shown crossing?

One of the consistent problems we have up here is the electrician. They don't take part in the coordination process, they often don't even have CAD drawings and they just run everything where they want. And the GC's tend to let them get away with a lot of it. I find that more problems with the architect's concepts surface in the sprinkler design that any of the other trades. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
