SELECTED HEALTHCARE PROJECTS
Naval Medical Center, Buildings 1, 2 & 3, San Diego, CA Fire Alarm Study and Design A study of the existing fire alarm systems in three major health care buildings was conducted to define specific fire alarm requirements and evacuation methods for each of the buildings. After the completion of the study, a new fire alarm system was designed for the three buildings. The three buildings were the Main Hospital and its two major clinic buildings that were four to six stories in height and totaled approximately 1.5 million square feet. A new network addressable fire alarm system was chosen with connection to the new Central Fire Alarm Dispatch Center and remote annunciators and graphic display panels. Design work included demolition drawings of the old system, new system drawings including conduit runs and circuit wiring, selective zone evacuation, and conduit riser diagrams. A construction cost estimate and system change-over schedule was also provided. Hughes received a performance rating of “Excellent” for its services. University of California, Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA Fire Alarm Master Plan Update The University has asked Hughes to provide fire protection engineering support of the Hospital Fire Alarm Master Plan Upgrade. Given the age of the current master plan and the conditions, the University desires that the Hospital Fire Alarm Master Plan be revisited and updated, to define a path forward including the establishment of a Notifier network of necessary fire alarm control panels, a consistent and compliant means of occupant notification, and to standardize fire alarm system equipment to the extent feasible to minimize hardware and Inspection, Testing and Maintenance efforts for the foreseeable future.
