FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLYDistribution authorized to DoD components and their contractors only; administrative/operational use;March 16, 2006. Other requests for this document shall be referred to the Chief, AcquisitionEnvironmental Safety & Health Division, Engineering Directorate, ASCIENV, <strong>Wright</strong> <strong>Patterson</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong><strong>Base</strong>, OH 454333.2 B-833 new vehicle maintenance addition on west side. In 2004 we recommendedadding sprinklers to this area and it is our understanding that Raytheon is now going tofund a project to install sprinklers.4. FACILITY REVIEW FINDINGSThe following items were noted during the walk through of the plant:4.1 Items that can affect sprinkler operation.4.1.1 B-801, column M12 with a new open grate mezzanine added for storage.Sprinkler heads underneath the mezzanine floor will not collect enough heat to operatebecause heat will rise thru the open grate floor and not collect at the sprinkler heads.Recommend adding heat collectors at the sprinkler heads.4.1.2 B-801, column 012 (Sparrow area). Storage on racks along walls is too high.Recommend lowering storage heights to less then 12 feet high or install in-rack sprinklersper NFPA 13 for storage over 12 feet high.4.1.3 B-809 column 03 clean room lab exhaust hood. Solvents are used and recommendinstalling a sprinkler head in the hood.4.1.4 B-815A west side storage room. Storage on racks is too high. Recommendlowering storage heights to less then 12 feet high (per NFPA) or install in-rack sprinklersper NFPA 13 for storage over 12 feet high.4.2 Areas that need additional sprinkler coverage.A considerable amount of new construction has taken place since the last fire protectionreview in 2004. It appears all new work is being accomplished with proper fireprotection with exception of:4.2.1 B-809 clean room area general finding. Walls and curtains have been addedwithout taking into account sprinkler head coverage that is now lacking in some areas.Some problem areas were pointed out but overall we recommend an area survey forsprinkler head coverage and adding heads or relocating walls and curtains as necessary toobtain proper coverage. This includes those rooms-within-rooms for laser testing thathave enclosed ceilings and block sprinkler head coverage as well. In these laser testingrooms, Raytheon may want to consider adding smoke detectors instead of sprinklers if aquicker response is desired to protect equipment.Attachment 5
