Request for revision Fire Partition and Exterior Glazing Connection
Permit #BLD2018-0447
RE: RFI-081
To Leif Bjorback and Kristin Johns,
Venture Construction will be meeting with either Milton Thompson or Eric Carter to review
the attached details. We propose to revise how the fire partitions meet the existing exterior
glazing on the second floor. This revision eliminates the 1 hour rated shaft wall that branch
off from the fire partition in between patient rooms to die into the exterior mullions. The
proposed detail allows the fire partition directly connects to the exterior glazing and buffered
by gasket and fire sealants.
We are requesting one of the site inspectors approve this detail.
Thank you for your consideration.
