Industrial Questions for Davis
Common questions from GCs and developers on industrial projects in Davis.
Laboratory occupancies are typically classified as Group B or H depending on chemical storage levels, triggering specific NFPA 13 suppression requirements including deluge or pre-action systems for high-hazard areas. Richardson designs systems that satisfy both Davis FD and UC Davis EH&S requirements.
Yes. New student housing in Davis is subject to California Residential Code R313 and California Building Code, requiring NFPA 13 or 13R systems depending on building type and height. Richardson installs these systems for student housing developers and GCs in the Davis market.
Mixed-use buildings have multiple occupancy classifications on different floors, each with different NFPA 13 hazard classifications. Richardson engineers a single integrated system that addresses each occupancy correctly and submits a consolidated package to Davis FD for plan review.
