Spoke with Michael Dillon (Dillon Consulting Engineers) who prepared the Smoke Management System Engineering Report. I referenced page 5 of the report, specifically the fourth paragraph detailing the planters and associated protection requirements. He clarified that he did, in fact, intend 30" planter width to mean 'width' and not 'length', as in, extend a minimum of 30" into the atrium area. He also clarified that the smoke detectors and sprinkler heads specified in his report as being needed in the planters are definately required due to the issues described in his report. SUMMARY: The planters are required to extend a minimum of 30" into the atrium; sprinklers and smoke detectors are required in those planters as specified in the report.

Spoke withMichael Pemberton of Big M Electric regarding the plan modifications submitted on 10/2/09. The title block indicates 'as-built', however there are multiple items from previous reviews that were not addressed as well as the atrium smoke shutter documentation. I explained to him that I spoke with the engineer (see additional phone call activity) and verified that smoke detectors will need to be added to the planters specified in the smoke control report dated November 20, 2007. I gave him two options: 1) I will cross out the 'as-built' description on the plans, soley review them based on the shutter additions, and then he would need to submit again prior to calling for a final inspection with all of the changes incorporated into the drawings, thus paying any additional plan review fees; or 2) I can fail these submitted drawings and he can resubmit prior to calling for a final inspection will all changes incorporated that reflect the true as-built information including but not limited to the shutter information, additional smoke detectors in the atrium planters, room changes, previous review comments, etc..) thus paying only one set of review fees. He opted for the second option.

All of the smoke alarms were tested today as well as all of the fire sprinkler to fire alarm panel interconnections. There are two items left that need addressed. They are the shutters on the third floor atrium and the non-syncing of the horn/strobes in the first floor common areas and the handi-cap rooms.

The inspection continued today. Items left to test include the hood suppression system, hvac shutdown, EOL voltage drop, smoke alarms, smoke shutters/atrium smoke detectors and sprinkler system interconnections. Notification and initiating (smoke detectors/pull stations) were tested on all floors. Two were repaired while I waited.
INSP-Final Inspection9/25/20099/28/20099/28/2009AFAIL
DetailsTroy Cobbley
See the city approved plans for the initiating devices tested today as marked in red. The phone lines and supervision of the NAC panels were verified. One 16ga wire needs to be changed to 14ga as discussed and atrium smoke shutter sequence of operation needs to be verified since it has not been programmed per the approved drawings.

The contractor called regarding smoke detector placement questions. The area in question is on sheet FA1.1.1 Dining 168. Apparently, there is a beam that is 18" deep that runs East-to-West. The ceiling height is 17.9'. Per NFPA 72, if the beam depth does not exceed 10% of the ceiling height, then it can be treated as a smooth ceiling, otherwise smoke detectors will need to be added to cover the 'pocket' created by the beam. In addtion, the contractor stated that there are dormers around the fireplace that did exceed the 10%. I indicated that based on his description that smoke detectors would need to be placed in the 'pocket' created by the dormers.
