Warehouse Sprinkler Systems

Oftentimes, the introduction of racking or a new commodity into a warehouse requires an evaluation of an existing sprinkler system or installation for a new sprinkler system. The fire marshal may require this evaluation to be done by a fire protection engineering firm.

A fire protection engineering firm can stamp the drawing and speak the language of the code official to ensure that the system you’re putting in will meet their requirements. This can include revisions to the existing overhead sprinkler system or the introduction of a new in-rack sprinkler system.

RCS works with one of the premiere fire protection firms in the country to ensure that the sprinkler system revisions are in accordance with the codes and standards and will meet the needs of the fire marshal.

As part of our life safety evaluations, an RCS expert will determine where all sprinklers should be located to satisfy local municipality requirements. We will provide this information to all applicable parties to have this included on the CADD drawings.

We will also determine if a high pile storage permit is required. If required, we will provide a high pile storage drawing containing all life safety information, including sprinkler and fire protection information.

We will then submit all necessary drawings and other documentation needed to the municipality for approval.

Once drawings are completed and required permits are obtained, RCS engineers will source sprinklers from our network of approved vendors based on requirements and cost.

We’ll then work with all necessary parties to install your sprinkler system. We maintain a large network of installers, all of whom are thoroughly vetted to meet the highest standards for quality of workmanship.
