- Description
- General Information: The Robert J. Dole Federal Courthouse is an 8 story building with a ground floor, mezzanine and penthouse levels. A parking garage occupies a portion of Basement. The building contains 273,000 gross square feet and was completed in 1996 for the courts. The building is sprinklered and is provided with a fire alarm system. The building is located at 500 State Avenue, Kansas City, KS. Perimeter Firestopping: This project is a continuation of firestopping work performed on the lower levels of the Dole US Courthouse on floors Ground through 4th floors. The building perimeter firestopping in this project will be done at the 5th floor, with the 6th floor firestopping to be done in a separate project next year. The project started out as a project to seal up air infiltration that was occurring at the inside perimeter of the building. It was discovered that there were more or less continuous openings between floor slabs and exterior envelopes, at the perimeter. There was no floor-to-floor fire separation in these areas. The existing construction did not achieve the required 2-hour fire separation between floors. Perimeter firestopping details and techniques will be largely similar to those used on lower floors. In numerous instances, the method of achieving a suitable separation or fire rating can be achieved through the use of a standard UL Assembly or detail and firestopping material. In other instances, the method of achieving a suitable separation or fire rating cannot be achieved through the use of a standard assembly or detail. In such cases, an engineered solution and/or an engineering judgement needs to be developed by the fire protection engineer and the AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) has to approve the solution and the installation of the solution. Such customized engineered solutions require the utilization of a professional fire protection engineer on the design/construction team. Interior Firestopping: The building Interior firestopping in this work item will be done on all floors Ground through 6th. It was discovered that there were continuous openings between floor slabs on each floor typically within closets and chases and in firewalls, as well. There was no fire separation in these areas at these penetrations.. The existing construction did not achieve the required 2-hour fire separation between floors. In numerous instances, the method of achieving a suitable separation or fire rating can be achieved through the use of a standard UL Assembly or detail and firestopping material. In some cases, an engineered solution and/or an engineering judgement may need to be developed by the fire protection engineer and the AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) will have to approve the solution and the installation of the solution. All assemblies and engineered solutions will require the utilization of a professional fire protection engineer on the design/construction team.
