Project Highlight

Legoland

Goshen, NY

RAN Fire Protection Engineering conducted a comprehensive fire flow assessment for the Legoland theme park in Goshen, NY. This project involved evaluating the site’s water distribution system and estimating both the required and available fire water flows for over 30 buildings across the park. RAN’s expertise was crucial in performing detailed calculations, utilizing industry standards like NFPA, New York State Fire Code, and ISO procedures for non-sprinklered buildings, and assessing sprinkler system demands for others. A key consideration was the park’s combined fire and domestic water system, which required careful integration of domestic water usage into the fire protection hydraulic calculations. The assessment resulted in a final design that eliminated fire pumps in multiple buildings across the site, resulting in significant cost savings for the owner.

Whiteface Lodge

Wilmington, NY

After a fire devastated the Whiteface Mid-Station Lodge,
RAN Fire Protection Engineering was retained for the
design of fire sprinkler, fire alarm and fire pumps
systems for the replacement of the building. With the
building located remotely up high in the mountain and no
direct access to a municipal water supply, and RAN was
tasked with developing design criteria for the design of
the fire water storage system. RAN also worked
alongside ORDA Code Enforcement to ensure the
overall building design meet the needed fire flow
requirements for the site in accordance with the New
York State Fire Code.

Mission Church

Holmes, NY

RAN Fire Protection Engineering performed fire protection engineering consulting and design services involving a sprinkler system design. The design included sprinkler piping and sprinkler layout, hydraulic calculations, and electric fire pump and sizing of the required water supply. The designs incorporated aesthetic aspects to blend into the existing structure and produced maximum safety for the church and its occupants.

Ventfort Hall

Lenox, MA

Fire protection engineering design services for the Ventfort Hall elevator renovation were performed by RAN. The scope of services included: Fire Protection Drawings to indicate the scope of work required for the installation of the new elevator system. Relocation of the basement sprinkler system was required to omit sprinkler protection within the elevator machine room and elevator pit per 780 CMR requirements. On the second floor one sprinkler was required in the elevator vestibule and one sprinkler in the adjacent corridor per AHJ direction. Fire Alarm Drawings were indicated in the scope of work required to connect smoke and heat detectors associated with elevator recall to the existing fire alarm panel. The fire protection services provided by RAN helped preserve the history written within those walls of Ventfort Hall.

Hart Theater

Albany, NY

With many people gathering at the Hart theater ensuring that fire protection needs, and requirements are met is important to increase occupant safety. RAN Fire Protection Engineering was retained to evaluate the existing proscenium fire curtain of the stage at Hart Theatre, the existing escalator fire shutter, and the associated fly cable system. RAN provided recommendations and code compliance design options to increase the performance levels of the existing systems and increase safety.

Size: 10,000 sqft | Construction Cost: $330,000

Darien Lake Performing Arts

Darien Center, NY

RAN Fire Protection Engineering was brought on as a consultant for the life safety review at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center. RAN’s third-party quality control review included all aspects of the fire protection design, including devising a holistic approach to assessing the probable performance of the mass notification and emergency response systems for the 21,600-person capacity venue. RAN also performed a mass evacuation egress analysis for the facility which discussed placement of gates, security barriers and exist flow paths during an emergency.
