By the way the Engineer of Record has called for Light Hazard Occupancy for the Flight Simulator area Roof Line Coverage.

I am going to question that provided I can get information about the simulator equipment. In reviewing NFPA 13 & FM Data Sheet 7-3 sprinkler protection under the Cabs will also be required.

If this is a military project, do they have a spec on flight simulators?

What is in the simulators? Could there be a shielded fire in there?

Are these servo motor articulated or use hydraulic fluids?

 

If there are no hydraulic fluids or other contributing hazards, the building may be able to classified as an F-2 occupancy and no sprinklers required.

 

You might also investigate the possibility of a water mist or hybrid water mist system in lieu of sprinklers for such an occupancy but that will take some analysis and engineering work to determine suitability or viability of the option.

What occupancy should be considered?

Steel building, 25' high with Flight Simulators inside. Engineer has asked that no sprinklers be installed directly over simulators which are about 22' in diameter. I need to use extended coverage. Occupancy not specified. I am leaning toward Ordinary Hazard 1 as minimum.

Am I on the right track or could I consider Light Hazard?

Cheers,
