Sounds like an alternate means and methods I have seen it done using NFPA 15 as a guide. (usually exposure protection)
I seem to recall having to do it in an aircraft hanger also NFPA 409 Its Monday and coffee level is low but hope that points you in the right direction Mark Phillips Project Manager Celebrating 90 Years in Business Bolton Construction and Service, LLC 1623 Old Louisburg Road Raleigh NC, 27604 Ph: 919-861-1500 Fax: 919-834-4835 www.boltonservice.com Since 1925 Residential / Commercial: Plumbing * Heating * Air Conditioning * Electrical * Generators * Fire Sprinkler -----Original Message----- From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sean Lockyer Sent: Monday, April 25, 2016 1:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Fire proofing and column protection for non-storage applications Is there a requirement for the fire proofing and/or column protection of steel columns in non-storage applications ? Every mention of fire proofing and/or column protection in NFPA 13 involves this taking place in a storage occupancy such as tire storage, rack storage, etc. However, is there a separate requirement for the fire proofing of steel columns in say, assembly occupancies ? If there is, where would I find this ? In addition, is column protection an acceptable alternative in such an instance. For clarification, I am NOT referring to the fire proofing of steel bar joists in office buildings, etc. Sean Lockyer Project Designer 4617 Parkbreeze Court Cell 386-279-1197 Orlando, Florida 32808 [email protected] Phone: 407-816-9101 www.AITLifeSafety.com Fax: 407-816-9104 _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
