655-14-110 – Building 1 Sprinkler Replacement RFI Questions and Answers Questions and Answers:

Question: Flex drops are hydraulically way more demanding then hard piped drops. We will need existing systems calculations to confirm whether the use of flex drops will even work. Typically, there isn’t a larger enough safety factor designed into older buildings to allow their use. This should be determined before they are just allowed to replace existing hard drops.

Answer: The design of this project was done based on hydraulic calculations performed during our sprinkler inspection. That is why you will see the upsize in some of the piping. The company that does all of our inspections was a consultant to the A/E firm.

Question: Current suspended ceiling system rated per ASTM C-635 and 636?

Answer: Ceilings throughout the hospital are per ASTM C-635 and C-636.
