Technical submittal support is more effective when the project scope, hazard, enclosure, system configuration, piping constraints, operating sequence, applicable standards, approval requirements, and requested deliverables are clearly defined.
Submittal support can assist with document coordination, configuration review, technical information, and project-specific system documentation, but it does not replace qualified system design, the current controlled manual, the approved calculation method, applicable standards, project specifications, or AHJ review.
Responsibility for the final project design, drawings, calculations, code compliance, installation, testing, and acceptance must be established by the project team in accordance with the applicable contractual and jurisdictional requirements.
Project information is often organized into practical review groups. These support coordination; they do not by themselves complete system design.
Project drawings, calculations, equipment selections, and design documentation depend on the defined scope of work, available project information, qualified system design, applicable standards, approved methods, system configuration, and project requirements.
Hydraulic calculations must use the approved calculation method, current software version where applicable, current component data, and the configuration limits associated with the system being designed.
Hydraulic-calculation software is controlled and is not provided as a public download.
Depending on the project scope and available controlled documentation, a suppression-system submittal package may include applicable technical documents and project-specific information such as:
The exact content of a submittal package depends on the project, contractual scope, system configuration, available released documents, approval requirements, and AHJ expectations.
Approval and certification status varies by system configuration, including container size, working pressure, component, arrangement, and jurisdiction. Approval of one configuration does not automatically extend to another.
The proposed bill of materials, configuration, model information, limitations, and certification scope should be verified before approval language is incorporated into a project submittal.
Submittal packages should reference the current controlled technical documents applicable to the system configuration being proposed.
Superseded, preliminary, translated, extracted, reformatted, or third-party copies must not be treated as controlling unless DueNorth has expressly identified them as current and approved for use.
Verify the part number, version, date, and release status before relying on any technical document.
Technical support, document review, configuration assistance, or comments provided by DueNorth do not transfer responsibility for the final project design, installation, code compliance, inspection, testing, permitting, or AHJ acceptance unless responsibility is expressly established in the applicable project agreement.
