Gessner Engineering Job No.: 08-0256
Dear Ms. Bridges:
Based on the descriptions provided in the International Building Code, the
proposed public restroom to be constructed in the Northgate Area will be
constructed as a Type 11-B construction. The proposed non-sprinkled building is
approximately 560 square feet. With the proposed construction type and square
footage , Table B 105.1 found in the appendix B of the International Fire Code
estimates the fire flow to be 1,500 gallons per minute (gpm). Table C 105.1 of
the International Fire Code states this type of flow requires one (1) fire hydrant.
The fire flow test information provided to Gessner Engineering in regards to the
fire hydrants adjacent to the property is provided below in Table One. The fire
hydrants are located at 315 University and 301 Church Avenue.
Fire Hydrant Location 315 301 Church
University Avenue
Static Pressure 76 psi 76 psi
Residual Pressure 72 psi 76 psi
Fire Hydrant Flow 1,060 gpm 1, 190 gpm
Table One: Fire Hydrant Flow Report Data
The total combined flow for the fire hydrants adjacent to the property is
2,250 gpm which more than meets the requirement of 1,500 gpm fire
flow.
