Project Description

The following outlines the proposed alternative solution for the applicable building code requirements, relative to fire protection and life safety, as they relate to the 4151 Kingston Road (Project), located in Toronto, ON. Specifically, the purpose of this alternative solution is to address the Ontario Building Code requirement to install fire hose cabinets within floor areas that are located not more than 5 m from every required exit serving this Project as would otherwise be required by Article 3.2.9.4.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¿.For additional information, refer to the Standpipe Alternative Solution letter dated August 30, 2023.
