Project Highlight

Production Facility

Lowell, MA

RAN was retained to provide fire sprinkler and fire alarm design services for a cannabis production facility. The design included fire sprinkler systems protecting mother-growth and flower areas, as well as an extraction room where highly flammable solvents were in use. The sprinkler system protecting the extraction room was carefully designed to protect against the flammable conditions which could arise in the event of a solvent release within the room. The fire alarm design featured strategically located manual pull stations and notification appliances throughout the 80,000 sq-ft facility. RAN also developed design criteria for carbon dioxide detection to maintain levels below OSHA allowable limits within the growth and flower rooms which were constantly supplied with carbon dioxide to stimulate plant growth.

Size: 80,000 sqft | Construction Cost: $325,000

Grow Facility

Warwick, NY

RAN Fire Protection Engineering was retained to provide designs for automatic fire sprinkler systems throughout all buildings to protect the grow facility. RAN also designed a fire alarm and detection system that activates the occupant notification system. 

RAN understands that grow lamps, plants, and plenty of flammable materials being used in the growth process can lead to a quick spread of a fire, therefore our approach requires specific but impactful solutions.

Pharmaceutical & Recreational

San Diego, CA | Lakeland, FL | Portsmouth, VA | Milford, DE

RAN Fire Protection Engineering has provided a range of consulting and design services for multiple sites in different states and jurisdictions, each providing unique challenges. The challenges stemmed from the variety of extraction methods used, which in turn affected the hazard classification of each facility – requiring specific solutions for each location.

RAN’s engineers reviewed each building to ensure compliance with NFPA standards and local building/fire codes and provided code compliance guidance to help bring the facilities up to code. Due to the materials used in the extraction and production processes, hazardous materials plans were necessary to ensure safe operation and business continuity. Additionally, preliminary procedures for an Emergency Response Plan for fire, gas leaks, explosions, hazardous material exposure, and security threats were developed.
