Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 61G15-34.008 - Design of Mechanical Machines and Motion Systems
(1) Mechanical
Machines and Motion Systems include any and all mechanical systems, devices,
machines and equipment used by the public for conveyance, amusement,
transportation, or facilitation of any process. These systems include
elevators, escalators, moveable walkways, amusement park rides, etc. Items to
be included in the design and analysis of these systems are, as applicable to
the particular project: load characteristics and capacities; accessibility
requirements for persons with disabilities; system type and characteristics;
instrumentation and control; operating dynamics requirements; structural
requirements; and installation requirements.
(2) The Mechanical Machines and Motion
System(s) shall be based on and shall reference the Florida Building Code, the
Florida Fire Prevention Code, any other applicable standards (such as ASHRAE,
NFPA, ASME, ANSI, etc.); or if no other such standards are available on
alternative engineering sources and good engineering practice.
(3) Mechanical Engineering Documents
pertinent to Mechanical Machines and Motion Systems must include the following
information, if applicable to the particular project:
(a) Demonstrate and provide adequate
information for the AHJ to determine compliance with codes and ordinances.
These may include test methods and results or data and tabulations that are
results of the design.
(b)
Equipment schedule for each piece of mechanical equipment. All equipment must
include the following information:
1. Elevator
or conveyor type.
2. Electrical
requirements based on voltage and phase.
3. Hydraulic requirements.
4. Motor sizes and quantities.
5. Gear and drive sizes.
6. System weight loading
requirements.
(c) Floor
plans; site plans; and building and mechanical system sections or elevations as
appropriate to provide the minimum system requirements expected to be installed
by the contractor.
(d) System
schematic diagrams with sizes and fluid flow quantities.
(e) System piping or ductwork layout, sizing,
and insulation.
(f) Specific system
design requirements to allow for independent project review.
(g) Instrumentation and Control System
requirements, unless included on either Electrical or on Instrumentation and
Control plans to ensure intentional operation of the system.
(h) Required fire protection systems and
devices.
(i) Materials for all
Mechanical Machines and Motion Systems shall be specified.
(j) A list, description, or details of
through-penetration firestop systems as applicable.
(k) Coordination with life safety means of
egress requirements in NFPA 101.
