  • 078400S02 FIRESTOPPING – Mechanical Room Floor Penetrations
    078400S02 FIRESTOPPING – Mechanical Room Floor Penetrations The following standard applies to all added floor penetrations in any existing mechanical room, electrical room or penthouse mechanical area above slab level in all facilities maintained by the University of Kentucky. Affected penetrations include, but are not limited to, the following: conduit, pipes, and ductwork. For new facilities, housekeeping curbs should be constructed during the initial building construction which would eliminate the need for this standard. 1.0 All penetrations must be fire stopped per the applicable NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and State of Kentucky Building Codes with the appropriate UL listed fire stop assembly being utilized. The UL listing documentation must be available for the installed assembly upon request by the inspecting authority or by the University representative. 2.0 In addition to the required fire stopping outlined in section 1.0 above, all penetrations are to be protected by materials meeting an UL Tested Class 1 W-rating to restrict the flow of water. 3.0 For pipes and conduits, a curb is to be installed around the opening with a self leveling, single- component, silicone-based firestop sealant used in the slab and the curb. The installation is to consist of a steel angle mechanically fastened to the floor to create a curb with the firestop sealant installed in the curb and slab sealing up to the penetrating item. The sealant is to be white in color. See drawing 1 below for better clarification. 4.0 For ductwork, a curb is to be installed around the opening with a self leveling, single-component, silicone-based firestop sealant used in the slab and the curb.

  • Townhouse Or Two-Family Dwelling?
    TWO-FAMILY DWELLING, TWO-UNIT TOWNHOUSE and TOWNHOUSE BUILDINGS and the 2020 MINNESOTA RESIDENTIAL CODE Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry DEFINITIONS A two-family dwelling (IRC-2 occupancy) is: • A building containing two separate dwelling units. • The separation between units is either horizontal or vertical. • Both units are on one lot. • Sometimes referred to as “duplexes.” A townhouse (IRC-3 occupancy) is: • A single-family dwelling unit constructed in a group of two or more attached dwelling units. • Each unit is a separate building and extends from the foundation to the roof with open space on at least two sides of each unit. • Each unit is provided with separate building service utilities required by other chapters of the State Building Code. • A two-unit townhouse is sometimes referred to as a “twin-home.” DISTINCTION The primary differences between a two-family dwelling and a two-unit townhouse or twin-home: • Property – A two-unit townhouse or twin-home is typically located on two separate individual lots with a property line running between them whereas both units of a two-family dwelling, or “duplex,” are located on the same single lot. • Separation – A two-unit townhouse must be separated from the foundation to the roof by a double wall (two one-hour walls, see exceptions below). The separation between units in a two-family dwelling can be provided by single one-hour fire-resistance-rated assembly that is horizontal or vertical. • Services – Since each townhouse unit is a separate building, each townhouse unit must be supplied with separate utilities. Units classified as townhouses must be supplied by separate electrical services.

  • Basement Flood Mitigation
    1 Mitigation refers to measures taken now to reduce losses in the future. How can homeowners and renters protect themselves and their property from a devastating loss? 2 There are a range of possible causes for basement flooding and some potential remedies. Many of these low-cost options can be factored into a family’s budget and accomplished over the several months that precede storm season. 3 There are four ways water gets into your basement: Through the drainage system, known as the sump. Backing up through the sewer lines under the house. Seeping through cracks in the walls and floor. Through windows and doors, called overland flooding. 4 Gutters can play a huge role in keeping basements dry and foundations stable. Water damage caused by clogged gutters can be severe. Install gutters and downspouts. Repair them as the need arises. Keep them free of debris. 5 Channel and disperse water away from the home by lengthening the run of downspouts with rigid or flexible extensions. Prevent interior intrusion through windows and replace weather stripping as needed. 6 Many varieties of sturdy window well covers are available, simple to install and hinged for easy access. Wells should be constructed with gravel bottoms to promote drainage. Remove organic growth to permit sunlight and ventilation. 7 Berms and barriers can help water slope away from the home. The berm’s slope should be about 1 inch per foot and extend for at least 10 feet. It is important to note permits are required any time a homeowner alters the elevation of the property.

  • Spectrum Brands Hardware and Home Improvement Division to Open New Distribution Facility at Logistics Park Kansas City
    Contact: Nicole Randall For Immediate Release (785) 414-0253, [email protected] February 3, 2017 Spectrum Brands Hardware and Home Improvement Division to Open New Distribution Facility at Logistics Park Kansas City The Kansas Department of Commerce has the pleasure of announcing that Spectrum Brands Hardware and Home Improvement (HHI) division plans to centralize its operations from two existing distribution facilities in Charlotte, N.C., and Mira Loma, Calif., into a single 927,112 square-foot distribution center at Logistics Park Kansas City (LPKC) in Edgerton, Kan. Construction of the building Spectrum will occupy at LPKC, known as Inland Port XXXIII, began in March 2016. It is Kansas City’s largest-ever to be constructed on a speculative basis. “Spectrum Brands HHI initiated a study of our existing distribution and fulfillment network in December with the intent of identifying the best option for the business to increase distribution capabilities and service levels, provide room for expansion, reduce overall inventory levels, and improve cost management,” said Sr. Vice President and General Manager of Hardware and Home Improvement Phil Szuba. “After completing our analysis, we determined that centralizing distribution operations in Edgerton will enable Spectrum Brands HHI to more efficiently serve our customers with lower inventory levels while establishing a platform for future growth.” Spectrum Brands HHI will begin transitioning operations from California and North Carolina immediately. The company plans to start receiving inventory in Edgerton in March and will start shipping from the new LPKC distribution center in April. When complete, Spectrum Brands will have approximately 315 jobs in the State of Kansas.
