Ped. Protection for Demo

Ped. Protection for Demo

Ped. Protection for Demo

(OP)
Table 3306.1 indicates requirements for types of pedestrian protection, but I'm finding the way it is worded to be very confusing.  I have a 46' high building. We are closing the sidewalk during demolition.  Do I have to extend a barrier 23 feet away from the building (1/2 the height)?  I don't understand why it says "between 1/4 and 1/2" the height.

RE: Ped. Protection for Demo

The way I interpret Table 3306.1 of the 2006 IBC is that its prescribing the type of protection based on the location of the construction in relation to the lot (property line).

For a 46 foot tall building, a pedestrian path that is 24 feet from the building would not require protection. Other the other hand, if the pedestrian path is < 5 feet from the construction, a barrier and covered walkway is required.
