Engineering challenges

  • Attempting to re-use as much existing sprinkler piping as possible. Existing space was a warehouse.
  • Providing cooling for kitchens where cold air can be short circuited with kitchen exhaust.
  • Re-using existing rooftop units to service new administrative areas.

Engineering outcomes

  • Existing sprinkler piping was surveyed meticulously to maintain most of the existing main lines without conflict with new ductwork.
  • Kitchen air supplies were carefully coordinated to prevent short circuiting air with kitchen exhaust hoods.
  • Existing rooftop units were inspected and diversities applied to allow for re-use.
