Project Highlight

SABIC

Selkirk, NY

RAN provided special hazard consulting services for a performance-based design for the Resin structure at SABIC. The scope of services for this project involved the development of performance criteria for the 4 existing deluge systems and the design of 2 new deluge systems for protection against flammable liquid fires within the structure. Fire modeling was required to identify the worst-case pool fire, including the prediction of deluge system activation. RAN was able to establish the fire suppression requirements which included a code analysis, hydraulic calculations, and the establishment of acceptance criteria for the performance-based design. RAN was also involved in the design/build process.

Camoplast Soldieal

Plattsburgh, NY

RAN Fire Protection Engineering performed consulting services for the sprinkler system demand requirements in the existing warehouse. RAN engineers reviewed the warehouse storage arrangement, performed a code compliance evaluation, and evaluated the water supply for the existing sprinkler systems in the warehouse areas limited to the anticipated hydraulically most remote areas.

Farrell Oil Company

West Hurley, NY​

​

The main function of the building was to house combustible and flammable liquids at a potential capacity of 90,000 gallons. The building code allowed for the storage of much less than what they were storing. RAN provided code equivalency for Farrell Oil Company and developed a solution that would allow the project area to retain its function through building upgrades.

General Electric

Schenectady, NY

RAN Fire Protection Engineering provided fire protection consultation and code equivalency analysis services. The intent was to classify the Waste Storage Area in reference to New York State Building Code, NFPA, and FM Global. The analyses determined that the existing sprinkler system was inadequate and a new sprinkler system was required to accommodate the storage of 55 gallon drums of flammable liquids and combustible solids.

Hexion

Norco, LA

RAN engineers performed a hazard evaluation and risk analysis in 32 of the structures at this Momentive site. The project scope involved observing the existing fire protection systems, including fixed fire systems, fire alarm, and fire department operations. The water demand of all of the fixed fire protection systems were also reviewed. RAN also evaluated all existing fire pumps and determined the required water supply for each pump. After all observations were made, RAN provided a final report on the existing conditions of the
fire protection systems and the suggested upgrades

Momentive Performance Materials

Texas City, TX

RAN Fire Protection Engineering provided comprehensive fire protection design and construction administration services for Momentive Performance Materials, a plant located in Texas City, Texas. The project involved the design of a new fire pump house, intended to house a 5,000 gallons per minute (gpm) at 150 pounds per square inch (psi) fire pump, along with a new 12-inch water loop and associated hydrants throughout the facility. A sprinkler system was also designed for the pump house per NFPA-20 and NFPA-13 requirements, as well as a fire alarm system. RAN’s role encompassed site documentation, development of detailed construction documents for bidding and permitting, bid phase support, and construction administration, culminating in a final site visit and punch list.

Schluter Systems

Plattsburgh, NY

RAN Fire Protection Engineering was contracted to the Schluter Warehouse, where products were being stored and shipped, to provide construction documents as well as construction administration services. The construction documents submitted were fire protection design drawings, as well as fire alarm drawings. RAN provided hazard classification drawings, a sprinkler and piping location plan, hydraulic calculations, and assist with arbitration if necessary. The sprinkler and piping location plan and hydraulic calculations were designed to follow NFPA 13 and FM Global if necessary. The fire alarm designs included manual fire alarm device initiation, alarm notification appliance location, and device monitoring of the sprinkler system. The manual fire alarm initiation systems were designed to be compliant with NFPA 72, and the alarm notification appliance location was compliant with NFPA 72 and ADA.
