During an inspection of the certifying agency it was determined that recertification couldn’t be approved since there were some issues that needed to be resolved. In the Dutch report of the inspection agency 5 items were identified that needed attention:

a) The storage rooms (5ea) have quick response sprinkler heads for which no documentation could be found to verify that these sprinkler heads are approved for the storage rooms. Subject sprinkler must be replaced by approved sprinkler and documentation must be provided that these sprinkler heads are approved to be used in such an environment;

b) Inspector Test Valve (ITC) points are not installed at the least dynamic point of each sprinkler section and need to be installed accordingly. The drains of these ITC must be installed directly on the main sewer building system;

c) At present no ‘low temperature notification engine room’ is installed;

d) Additional pendant sprinkler heads have to be installed in rooms C043 and C045 to compensate obstruction of the up-right sprinkler heads;

e) Repair supervised control valve in bypass circuit;

f) Provide additional sprinkler heads;

g) Update existing blue prints to reflect all changes and DPW engineering will provide drawings in PDF and/or Micro Station V8i (DWG) format;

h) Contractor shall include and schedule appointment with inspection agency (R2B) to check if modifications are in line with their inspection report;

i) Recommissioning off sprinkler system.

All work being done on the sprinkler system needs to be organized in such manner that all work on the sprinkler system be kept to a minimum if sprinkler system needs to be drained all work is done to minimize system outage and as quick as possible.

When all modifications and additional work has been completed a system check needs to be performed in coordination with COR/POC and Fire Prevention Office Representor to check for leaks and system display.

5.3 Replace existing 5ea quick response sprinkler heads with general storage purpose sprinkler heads:

Currently all sprinkler heads is the storage rooms are quick response type heads and must be replaced by regular storage type sprinkler heads. Also three additional heads will be provided as spare parts and stored in the cabinet located in room S018 Mech-Sprinkler. Provide documentation that the installed sprinkler heads are approved for the use in these storage rooms. The following sprinkler heads must be replaced in rooms: C023, C029, C034, C037 and Y015 (see picture 5 below).
