Complete Compiled Specification.pdf - Peck Ormsby Construction

mechanical equipment.
Shop drawings submitted for earthquake bracing and anchors shall bear the Engineer's signed professional
seal.
The above qualified seismic engineer shall determine specific requirements on equipment anchorage and
restraints, locations and sizes based on shop drawings for the mechanical equipment which have been
submitted, reviewed and accepted by the Owner's representative for this project.
The Division 15 contractor shall require all equipment suppliers to furnish equipment that meets the seismic
code, with bases designed to receive seismic bracing and/or anchorage. All isolated mechanical equipment
bracing to be used in the project shall be designed for the equipment shop drawings and certified correct by the
equipment manufacturer for Seismic Zone 3 with direct anchorage capability.
Submit shop drawings, calculations, and printed data for the following items under provisions of the General
Conditions of the Contract:
1. Complete engineering calculations and shop drawings for all vibration and seismic requirements for all
equipment to be isolated and restrained.
2. The professional seal of the engineer who is responsible for the design of the Vibration and Seismic
restraint System for isolated equipment.
3. Details for all the isolators and seismic bracing with snubbers proposed for items in this specification
and on the drawings.
4. Details for steel frames, concrete inertia bases, and anchors to be used in conjunction with the isolation
of the items in this specification and drawings.
5. Clearly outlined procedures for installing and adjusting the isolators, seismic bracing anchors and
snubbers.
6. The location of all restraints of pipes and ducts with the locations shown on a floor plan noting the size
and type of anchorage and restraint to be used.
Snubbers:
Snubbers shall be double acting and consist of interlocking steel members restrained by replaceable shock
absorbent elastomeric materials a minimum of 3/4 inch thick.
Snubbers shall be manufactured with an air gap between hard and resilient material of not less than 1/8 inch nor
more than 1/4 inch.
A one "g" minimum vertical and lateral level shall be used in the design of all snubbers restraining isolated
equipment.
Design and Installation:
General: All mechanical equipment, piping and ductwork shall be braced, anchored, snubbed or supported to
withstand seismic disturbances and remain operational. Provide all engineering, labor, materials and equipment
for protection against seismic disturbances as specified herein.
