RE: Capstone Leasing Trailer Fire Flow
Dear Josh,
As requested we have investigated the ability of the water system to handle a fire flow for
the Capstone Cottages Leasing Trailer located at the southwest corner of FM2818 and
Holleman South. We submitted a fire flow report for the Cottage Site Plan dated 3-8-
2011. In that report we modeled a fire flow for the Cottage project on the most extreme
location of the system.
Run #7, in that report, was a Peak Day condition with the Cottages and Future
Development with a Fire Flow at Node 59457. This Future Development would have
included the ultimate development of the area where the leasing trailer will be located.
The fire flow used in Run #7 was 1500 gpm which is sufficient for a fire flow for the
leasing trailer as well. The leasing trailer is a Type V-B construction with a size of 1316
square feet. Per Table B1O5.1 and C1O5.1 in the Fire Code, this size and type of
construction requires a fire flow of 1500 gpm.
Run #7 performed within the College Station design guidelines. Given the proximity of
the leasing trailer to FM2818 and the 12 inch waterline that the fire hydrant will be
located on makes the fire flow situation better than the one modeled where the simulated
fire flow was on Node 59457.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
