Supplemental Information File Name A.31.6.13.4.1.docx Description Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: Kristin Bigda Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Wed Sep 02 13:51:40 EDT 2015 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Correlative changes with NFPA 101 Section 11.3.4. Section 31.6.13.4.1(2) is proposed to clarify the spaces that require automatic smoke detection where a single means of egress is provided and that a fire alarm system is required to be provided. The majority of spaces in single exit towers would require detection to provide an enhanced level of detection. The terminology is revised to provide consistency with Section 11.3.4.5.1. Section 31.6.13.4.2: ATCTs typically have a limited number of occupants. In addition, occupants must be awake and alert. The hazard associated with ATCTs is affected by the building s limited uses, size and height. The occupied levels of an ATCT are located at the top of the structure that typically contains support equipment and services but has limited occupancy. The lower levels of the ATCT are typically limited in size with the upper levels are larger in size. This means that towards the upper floors of the building where the structure flares out the diagonal distance of the building increases. This flared space is used for equipment that serves air traffic control. Architectural analysis has shown that meeting the 1/3 diagonal distance separation requirement is possible by routing access to one of the two means of egress through an equipment room. It is this task group s Page 21 of 89
9 of 58 10/28/2015 10:15 AM judgment that an arrangement routing egress though an equipment room creates a larger risk then reducing the diagonal separation requirement. The limited area and layout of the normally unoccupied lower levels can make separation of the exit access by 1/3 of the diagonal of the floor plan difficult. This revision reduces the required separation distance of multiple exit ATCTs in ATCTs that are typically low in occupancy and size. Section 31.6.13.4.3: The proposed change is the recommendation of the Airport Traffic Control Tower Fire Life Safety Task Group, and reflect the current approach to fire protection and life safety in airport traffic control towers (ATCT). This change provides consistency with the typical building practices for airport traffic control towers. Section 31.6.13.4.6 is proposed to clarify the intent of the requirement that the travel distance limit is to the entrance of the exit and not the exit discharge. Section 31.6.13.4.7 is proposed to require smoke proof enclosures for all exit enclosures. While stairs are the primary means of egress provided for ATCTs, this change provides protection for all exits due to the potential for delayed evacuation of tower operators. Section 31.6.13.5.1 is proposed to provide consistent terminology with Section 31.6.13.4.1 as well as require smoke detection in the observation level of all air traffic control towers regardless of the number of exits provided. Section 31.6.13.5.3 is proposed to provide consistent terminology with the rest of the air traffic control tower section. Section 31.6.13.7 is proposed to provide a control location for fire fighter operations due to the unique aspects of fighting fires in ATCTs. It is proposed that the emergency command center be located in either the tower footprint or the adjacent base building (where provided). The base building supports the tower operations and is built contiguous to the ATCT. Requirements were taken from Section 11.8.6 with a few exceptions. The voice fire alarm system controls were removed as ATCTs are not provided with voice systems. The fire alarm control unit would be located in the fire command center and provide status indicators for all associated systems. The requirement for elevator power selector switches was removed as ATCTs are typically designed with a single elevator. Controls for stairway door unlocking systems and video monitoring were not included as ATCTs are located in areas with restricted access. Section 31.6.13.8 is proposed to provide a regular requirement for emergency training for air traffic control tower operators. In the event of an emergency, operators are potentially not able to immediately egress due to the necessity of handing off flights to other locations. Requiring regular training on the steps to take in the event of an emergency provides benefit to the controllers and the general public. Response Message: Page 22 of 89
A.31.6.13.4.1 Smoke detection in air traffic control towers are intended to include (1) tower cab area; (2) along all means of egress from the tower including exit access paths, lobbies and other egress components; (3) all rooms containing equipment serving the ATCT; (4) small office spaces or lounge areas and similar uses that are used by tower employees; and (5) utility shafts that provide access for maintenance.
