CHAPTER 4 SPECIFIC DESIGN CRITERIA

4-1 INTRODUCTION.

This chapter identifies the specific design needs for each functional area as outlined in the space program. Tables 4-1 through 4-29 provide this data in a standard Functional Data Sheet format.

TABLE 4-1.0. APPARATUS BAY

Description/ Usage

The Apparatus Bays house the fire protection vehicles. Drive-through bays are preferable. All bays must accommodate the latest and largest structural and ARFF vehicles. Each bay of the Apparatus Room must include the required support utilities (drops) for vehicles such as exhaust, compressed air, hot and cold water, lighting, and power.

Min. Ceiling Ht. 4.26 m (14 ft.) minimum.

Finishes Walls. Concrete masonry units (CMU). Provide epoxy paints on all wall surfaces.

Floor. Provide a sealed concrete surface. A non-skid, low-maintenance traffic coating may also be acceptable. Slope floor to trench drains.

Ceiling. Ceiling not required; however, consider finishing exposed structure. Consider coordinating mechanical, electrical and plumbing components. Note that none of the ceiling components can be located below minimum ceiling height.

Plumbing Provide minimum 75-mm- (3-in.-) diameter water service with 62-mm- (2.5-in.-) diameter National Standard Threads ball-valve outlet to each vehicle. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and shower. Provide foot-operated mop sink with mop hanging rack. Provide standard hot and cold water hose bibb for every two truck bays. Provide floor trench drains parallel to the centerline of each vehicle. All apparatus room drains should connect to an approved oil/water separator prior to discharge.

HVAC The Apparatus Bay is typically heated. Maintain 20 C (68 F) minimum temperature except in areas with very mild winter conditions. Determine exceptions on a case-by-case basis based on climatic conditions.

The Services will not air condition the Apparatus Bay except through exceptions. For the Army, refer to TI-800-1, Design Criteria for the appropriate exceptions. The Air Force will determine on a case-by-case basis based on climatic conditions how to condition the Apparatus Bay. In addition to considering climatic conditions, consider the energy costs and sustainability impacts.

Provide a Fire Apparatus Vehicle Exhaust Removal System (FAVERS) in compliance with NFPA 1500 to eliminate 100% of vehicle exhaust emissions. A direct vent system that evacuates vehicle exhaust directly to the outside is the preferred FAVERS. Make-up air should be distributed so as to minimize drafts and be introduced above apparatus level since diesel exhaust is heavier than air. In this way, the make-up air flow downward will assist in pushing the exhaust fumes out the Apparatus bay doors when open.

Provide compressed air system on self-retracting lines at each vehicle bay. Consider providing a floor radiant heating element at each bay door in colder climates to prevent the door from freezing to the pavement.

Fire Protection Provide Fire Protection System per Paragraph 3-6.3.

Power Provide outlets per code. Locate all outlets at 900 mm (36 in) above finished floor. Provide self-retracting electric drop cords between vehicles that can reach to either end of the bay. Provide backup power sized to provide full unobstructed operation capability of the apparatus bays.

Provide power to each retractable bay door.

doors as recommended by NFPA 403. Even if ARFF vehicles are only intended to be housed on one side of a double bay, provide the 5500 mm by 5500 mm (18 ft. by 18 ft.) doors on both sides to permit drive through and to allow flexibility of use.

Provide manual means to open doors in case of power failure. If solid door panels are used, provide insulated doors. Consider providing doors with radio-operated closing devices that can be activated from the vehicle.
