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
