Project Description

The purpose of this alternative solution is to address the OBC requirement to install fire hose cabinets within floor areas that are located not more than 5 m from every required exit serving the project.On an alternative solution basis, it is proposed to omit the installation of hose cabinets within floor areas. Rather, 65 mm hose connections will be installed within the exit stair shafts as required for this project in accordance with the 2015 National Building Code of Canada (NBC) Sentence 3.2.5.10.(1) and NFPA 14-2013 "Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems". Additionally, 65 mm hose connections will be installed where required throughout the floor area to provide the required 30 m hose coverage to the floor areas of the Project as described in the proposal.
