For those of you design professional that have been tasked with designing a standpipe for a GSA building, the Engineer for the govt is saying things that appear to be true but hard to accept.
It appears that there is not a requirement for an AUTOMATIC standpipe in a GSA building...just the statement that "The building's fire pump must be sized for the sprinkler system requirements only if the local responding fire department can provide the necessary flow and pressure for manual firefighting operations (i.e., standpipes), through fire department connections." Therefore, regardless of height or floors, a manual standpipe can be used if the Fire Dept can provide enough water..no auto standpipe?
