Greg,
Because this is a large "FED" entity,are they using a different standard
than NFPA to set the requirements for this system?I was once involved
with a FEDERAL office building renovation and had to follow a federal
standard and EOR that only required 500 gpm @ 65 PSI for a 7 Story
building with 6 standpipes (1995).I was REALLY taken by surprise when
the EOR required the removal of an old 1500 gpm pump and controller and
install a brand new 500 gpm pump.Glad it was his name on that and not
mine.

I understand what you are saying, but the existing sp's are already
fed from
the pump. They wanted to add onto it from the same supply.
If the addition is installed as a separate system ...manual wet...you
still
can't make it work as the FD states that they will supply the water.
That brings up another question...is it acceptable to have one parking
garage with two diffrent types of SP?
