EXTENT OF WORK Deficiency ID Findings Recommendation 91717 The Fire Chief for the City of Devens, MA requires that either the entire length of the new loading dock canopy be sprinklered or that the loading dock is extended away from the building by 15 feet. Being that the canopy was constructed to protect people on the loading dock from the weather while unloading trucks, the only reasonable option is to sprinkler the overhang. (NFPA 13, 2010, 8) Provide sprinkler protection for 60 LF of loading dock canopy. The new system shall tie into the existing system but must be either a dry pipe system or a glycol system to prevent freezing. VII.
