An recent arson car fire beneath a bridge structure caused the collapse of the steel structure and bridge deck on I-85 in Atlanta.
It will take months to repair.

Like you said , I am not sure what occupancy group it would fall under, but technically a structure no different than any other building.

I wish I could tell you which occupancy group elevated train tracks fall under but regardless the only exception is an R-3 so automatic sprinklers appear to be required. I've attached a link to the BC site. Hope this helps. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/buildings/codes/2014-construction-codes.page Regards, Wayne T.

I have a customer in New York City that is going to rent the space under the tracks for parking. One of the requirements that New York City has made is that proper fire protection is provided, but gave no indication as to what this is. I checked NFPA 130 thinking that standpipes maybe required, but I could not find any information pertaining to this scenario. Any ideas or direction is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance for the help. <image001.png> Mike Stossel SET <image002.png> 36 Barren Road East Stroudsburg, PA 18302 Office: 973-670-2627 [email protected] _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
