Networked Fire Alarm Riser in Revit for a Replacement Elementary Campus, California
For a replacement elementary campus built in increments, we produced the fire alarm riser sheets in Revit showing a panel, amplifier and power supply in each new building, networked into the existing campus system over fiber.
4 buildings
one networked campus system
Fiber
amplifiers linked over fiber
2 riser sheets
built increment by increment
The challenge
The campus was being replaced building by building while school stayed open. Each new building needed its own panel, amplifier and power supply, but the whole campus still had to behave as one voice evacuation system. The riser had to show what was new, what was existing, and how each increment joined the network.
What we delivered
- Drew two riser sheets in Revit covering the new classroom building and multipurpose room panels.
- Showed each building’s panel, amplifier and remote power supply, and the fiber links between buildings.
- Tied the new panels back to the existing administration panel and the kindergarten terminal cabinet, marked as existing.
- Kept the riser tags consistent with the site plan so each pathway could be traced from the riser to the ground.
The result
Each increment’s riser slotted into the existing network without redrawing earlier phases, and the existing and new equipment were easy to tell apart.
