Project Highlight

Kingston High School

Kingston, NY

RAN Fire Protection Engineering was retained to update the Kingston High School Field House sprinkler system. RAN performed a code analysis on the existing fire protection system to make sure that everything was compliant with NFPA standards. It was discovered that a fire pump was needed based on hydraulic calculations of the existing system. A new fire pump and existing system modifications were designed.

Ogdensburg Free Academy

Ogdensburg, NY

When the auditorium at the Ogdensburg Free Academy underwent major renovations and upgrades including upgrades to the fire protection system, RAN Fire Protection Engineering provided design and consultation services. RAN provided the design of a new sprinkler system The designs included arbitration with local Code Enforcement Officials to ensure that the proposed building fire protection strategy would meet their life safety goals. It also included a variance to directly address the fire department’s pre-incident suppression tactics.

Ross St School

Woodbridge, NJ

RAN Fire Protection Engineering provided fire protection engineering design services for a sprinkler system at the new Ross Street School. The proposed school building is approximately 36,000 ft2 which was built in two phases. The function of the Phase I was to review, develop and implement the investigative study parameters and further investigate the system code issues, and site utilities. Phase II consisted of design development of the sprinkler system, construction documents, and construction administration.

Albany High School

Albany, NY

RAN proposed to document the existing fire protection system within the scope of work area and provide design drawings and hydraulic calculations for the necessary fire protection system modifications. RAN’s basic services were divided into two phases “Construction Documents” and “Construction Administration Services”. The “Construction Documents” phase included Fire Protection design drawings, development of written specifications, and the final set of construction documents. The Fire Protection design drawings contained hazard classifications of the project area, sprinkler, and piping locations in compliance with NFPA 13, hydraulic calculations, and design criteria that meets requirements. The “Construction Administration Services” phase included response to Bidders’ questions and RFI’s, issuance of addenda, review of contractor bid, submittals, and shopping drawings, and site visits during construction and preparation.

Menlo Park Elementary

Edison, NJ

RAN Fire Protection Engineering was retained to provide HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, and fire protection engineering services for the building renovation. The Fire Protection system included a sprinkler and standpipe system. HVAC drawings showed all heating/ cooling unit locations, special exhaust systems, preliminary system layouts, and preliminary equipment selections. The scope of the electrical services includes the design of electrical distribution, lighting, emergency power, and fire alarm systems.

Goshen High School

Goshen, NY

RAN was retained for fire protection engineering design services of a new sprinkler system for the stage renovations, the first floor, fire pump room, and basement. This project required a standpipe/sprinkler system designed and sealed by a registered professional engineer, coordinated with the floor layout and other building systems. Hydraulic calculations were performed for NFPA 13 compliance of the standpipe and sprinkler system.

James Monroe Elementary

Edison, NJ

RAN Fire Protection Engineering designed the complete fire protection system for the James Monroe Elementary School. Numerous architectural features within the building posed challenges to develop adequate sprinkler protection. RAN was able to use their extensive knowledge in fire dynamics to develop a coordinated layout that not only blended in with the building’s architectural features, but also reduced the sprinkler demand to avoid the installation of a costly fire pump.
