We have a fit-out project of an existing core / shell condition building. Beam and girder construction, all noncombustible. Existing sprinkler coverage is average 10 x 12 spacing for the open space. Accounting for beam and other MEP obstructions as required, etc. The contract drawings are depicting new branch line piping supplying the sprinklers at the ACT ceilings. Deck at 15 feet, new ceilings range from 8'6" to 10 feet. They currently depict the existing upright heads to remain.
I believe the existing heads are 165 F, but need to verify. It's the ground floor of a multi-story building (so not at an un-insulated roof). Although the heads are not required, is there a requirement to remove the existing upright heads? I thought there was, but didn't locate it. Pushing to remove them, but want to have back-up when told to "prove" they need to come out.
