Brief Description of Project

SSG provided design and construction of a new Very Early Warning Aspirating Smoke Detection (VESDA) actuated clean agent supplementary fire suppression system for building 7011. The main intent of this project was to provide layers of fire suppression that will protect electronic equipment rooms in Building 7011. The design uses the existing Automatic Wet Sprinkler System to protect the entire building as the primary fire suppression system. SSG provided a supplementary clean agent fire suppression system to protect essential electronic equipment in rooms 309 (electronic equipment) and 205 (UPS) to meet the requirements of Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 3-600-01), Section 6-8 Electronic Equipment Installation. The system is equipped with an Emergency Power Shutdown Management System (EPSMS) which is coordinated with Vandenberg AFB fire protection department.

The clean agent fire suppression system has a design concentration of 7.0%, actuated by spot type detectors installed at a maximum spacing of 250 sq. ft. per detector in both the room and subfloor protected spaces. The scope included an early warning air sampling system with active smoke detection cross zones with spot type addressable detectors. A separate clean agent storage container was provided for each hazard area.

Design - 35% design was provided in the RFP. The SSG did a comprehensive site overview comparing 35% design to actual site conditions prior to the project kick-off meeting. The SSG team provided 65% design for Government approval 60 calendar days after the project kick-off meeting. The 65% design package included drawings 65% complete showing all major details; specifications; and design analysis.  The project schedule included 30 days for Government review/comments. The 95% design package was submitted 30 days after 65% from the government was received by the SSG team. 100% design was provided 14 days after the 95% review meeting. Subcontractors were involved throughout the design process to ensure constructability and compliance. 

Construction - Existing smoke and heat detectors in ceiling and subfloor areas in rooms 309 (electronic equipment) and 205 (UPS) were removed prior to installation of the new system.  Construction was phased to minimize disruption to operations and design and construction was coordinated with the end-user throughout the contract duration. After the new system was installed, SSG sealed holes, cracks, or penetrations (including pipe cleaners and wire troughs) leading into or out of the protected areas. All walls around the inside perimeter of the room where the walls rest on the floor slab and where the walls intersect with the ceiling slab above were caulked. SSG provided a training program for the new fire protection system. SSG completed all inspection and commissioning requirements prior to final inspection. Following final inspection, SSG delivered to the Government as-built drawings and warranty in accordance with FAR 52.246-21.

Construction Management

Brief Description of Project

                    The Spectrum-CMI team of Superintendent, Quality Control Manager and Site Safety Health Officer managed the replacement of approximately 61,300 SF of roofing of Building 100. Two areas of the building required replacement; the south corner of the building and the upper section cap area. The project involved demolition, replacement of roofing material, repair of the insulation, roof drain, flashing, walk-pads, repair of the existing deck, recovery board, and gutter/down‐spouts. SPECTRUM-CMI coordinated and worked closely with the facility occupants to minimize disruption to operations. 

SPECTRUM-CMI performed the Bldg. 100 roof replacement during the heaviest rainy season in recent history—at minimal disruption to the customer and limited down time.

The SPECTRUM-CMI team demolished the existing roof system down to the structural metal deck. The Superintendent and Quality Control officer inspected the existing metal deck prior to re‐roofing. Any areas that required replacement were identified and repaired per the metal deck repair plan. After the deck swept clean of all debris, a new layer of 2” polyisocyanurate roof board was adhered over the structural metal deck using manufacturer approved insulation adhesives. A new layer of 3/8” Securock was then adhered using manufacturer approved insulation adhesives. The adhesive ribbon pattern was applied as per manufacturer’s recommendations to achieve the intent of FM 1‐90 and CBC requirements for wind uplift.

As a Value‐Engineered solution, the SPECTRUM-CMI team proposed using EPS crickets over polyisocyanurate insulation. Then a new layer of 50 mil Duro‐Fleece PVC Membrane was fully adhered using CR‐20 adhesive over the existing cap sheet roofing system.

STAGING/SAFETY

SPECTRUM-CMI established a staging area which was coordinated with GDA in a pre‐approved area.

A complete fall protection system was utilized for this project and submitted for review as per the visual safety drawing. Special precaution were taken to accommodate the weight load limitations of the roof deck as it pertains to storing of materials as well as demolition of the existing roof system.
