We have 40m square modular buildings on the airside plot of the project and just wanted to check, if we can take full advantage of NFPA 5000 for single and two storey buildings whether we have supervised sprinkler system and 18m clearway separation?
I have 40m square building with a second floor with offices upto a half of the ground storey.
I was initially looking at Type 2 (111) for building for sprinklered industrial building upto 5000m2 , but wondered, if we could still apply the below clauses and principals out of NFPA5000.
All be it on a private site as technically no direct public ways or yards.
This would allow the construction type to Type 2(000) and then no issues with the use of intumescent paint which Civil Defense appear to prohibit for storage and or industrial building?
Carmelita:
I see lots of advantages in the code by using an automatic sprinkler system. Why are you not going to take them?
My best,
