New Age Engineering was initially brought in to do code compliance review for the requirement of sprinkler heads in eleven laundry rooms on eleven different floors. It was previously recommended that a new fire pump be installed to provide a common riser and one sprinkler head in each laundry room. Our firm was able to obtain written approval from New York City to turn the existing standpipe into a combined standpipe/sprinkler system and provide the required sprinkler heads by gravity to each of the laundry rooms.
