Suppression design for big-box and retail environments that mix large sales floors with high-piled display and back-of-house storage.
3 systems we design3 codes & standardsRepresentative project
Overview
Retail and big-box environments mix large open sales floors with high-piled display and back-of-house storage, plus seasonal commodities that shift the hazard classification.
Garden centers, mixed occupancies, and tenant build-outs each affect the design, and water-supply demand scales quickly with storage arrangement.
Key considerations
High-piled display and back-of-house storage. Garden centers and outdoor / seasonal areas. Seasonal commodity swings affecting classification. Large open sales floors and water-supply demand. Mixed occupancy and tenant build-outs.
Applicable codes & standards
NFPA 13Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems (storage protection).
