I have a 1,300SF tenant finish project in a building that is post tension concrete. The tenant is dropping in a T-Bar grid ceiling throughout the space.
I have the existing piping dropping new pendents to the ceiling and removing the uprights. The AHJ has rejected the plans based on the removal of the uprights citing 8.15.1.2.1 and 8.15.1.2.2 (NFPA 13:2013). His contention is that a T-Bar ceiling is a fully accessible space, and therefore requires sprinkler protection above. Anyone been hit with this before?
