Hi need help to how get better in reviewing fire code plans

Hi need help to how get better in reviewing fire code plans

(OP)
Hi I am a new Engineer and they assign me to review fire code plans, is there any materials that can help me get better in this position, whether its an online course or handbook or anything else

RE: Hi need help to how get better in reviewing fire code plans

Start with NFPA 13, 14, 20. I think NFPA has some seminars and the like. Also look at the Building and Fire Code in your area.

RE: Hi need help to how get better in reviewing fire code plans

Do you know how to do layout? Main things in review

1 water supply correct
2 density correct for hazard application
3 is construction type identified
4 Make sure the deflector is located at the proper elevation
5 Is spacing correct for the areas in question
6 confirm everything is connected and calcs match plans for sizing

That is a very very basic overview.

RE: Hi need help to how get better in reviewing fire code plans

If you look in NFPA 13, 14, 15, 72 and probably some others there is a list in each standard about what the minimum amount of information is required on all shop drawings. I'm always surprised how many people do not follow that list when making shop drawings.

RE: Hi need help to how get better in reviewing fire code plans

Section 106 of the International Fire Code provides a list of documents that should be required for construction plans review. Section 1.14 of NFPA 1 provides a list of required documents for plan review. I would start with these, each system specific standard also has a list of plan review and document requirements. Then, be familiar with the codes and standards used in your jurisdiction.
