RE: Popeye's Restaurant, Graham Road
Letter Report for the Water System and Required Fire Flows
Dear Josh:
According to the architect, the new Popeye's Restaurant being proposed on Graham Road will have
a total interior floor space of 2,100 s.f., and it will be constructed using Type III construction. The
International Fire Code has two categories for Type III construction (Illa and Illb). Fire flow requirements
for the two types are as follows:
Construction Type
ma
Illb
Building Size (sf)
0-12,700
0-5,900
Required Fire Flow (gpm)
1,500
1,500
While it is not clear which construction type is used for the Popeye's Restaurant, the required flow
for a 2,100 sf building is 1,500 gpm under either scenario. Accompanying this letter are two Flow Test
Reports prepared by the City of College Station's Public Utilities Department. These two tests were taken on
the hydrants closest to the proposed location of the restaurant. Both hydrants are capable of flowing 1,525 gpm
while maintaining a residual system pressure in excess of 100 psi. We therefore conclude that the existing
water system is easily capable of providing the required fire flow for this building. As always, if you have any
questions regarding our conclusions, please contact me at your convenience.
