These repairs are to be made in response to the inspection report provided to HFD by Collins Engineers, Inc. on February 18, 2025. The report states, “The ceiling of the burn room exhibited areas of moderate warping.” Their recommendation was replacement of the ceiling in the burn room and replacement of insulation as needed. 1. Remove entire stainless steel, 8’x12’ ceiling in training facility burn room. 2. The metal that is removed from the ceiling will be left on site for future use and will not go with the contractor. 3. Upon removal of the ceiling, Division Chief Casey Howard (HFD) will determine if the insulation needs to be replaced. 4. If the insulation is to be replaced, work on the ceiling will be postponed until HFD replaces the insulation. Work would restart after roughly 10 days. 5. If the insulation does not have to be replaced the ceiling installation may continue immediately. 6. Install a new ceiling of 3/16” flat steel sheets. 7. The 3/16” flat steel sheets will be reinforced and held in place by welding ¼” thick, 2”x2” tubing on the bottom side of the new ceiling. The tubing will be welded to the ceiling panels in approximately a 20 ¾ x 23 3/8 on center (oc) grid pattern. The diagram on the next page shows the approximate layout of the grid pattern. The 16”x16” vent must remain accessible and in working order. The new ceiling should not have any exposed bolts or screws. 8. All welds must be structurally sound and will be made by a certified welder. 9. All exposed material will be ground smooth for appearance and safety.
