    1) The column should be as initially plumb-able as with a typical base plate detail. 2) The column orientation should be able to be field adjusted later in the erection program to suit floor construction etc. 3) The column should be sufficiently moment connected to the slab to satisfy OSHA requirements.

  8. 1st, start with the premise that all areas of a building must be provided with sprinkler protection. Then, you can go to the exemptions that allow sprinklers to be omitted. One of these is non-combustible concealed spaces. Because your ceilings aren't 100% coverage of the room, the space above the ceiling is no longer concealed.

    If so, it then sends you to NFPA 13 which recognizes areas below a raised floor as a concealed space, and requires suppression if there are combustibles. If the cables are plenum rated, many authorities will not call the cables combustible, although in truth they are, and not require suppression below the floor.

    276. GB. ASME VIII Div 1, UG-99 allows painting before hydro except for items in lethal service (well it does in the version I have). However it does point out that paint could mask leaks which would otherwise be visible. No client I have ever worked with has accepted external or internal painting or coating prior to hydrotest.
