VeriDAS Installs Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems in 2 New Warehouses Near Columbus, Ohio

VeriDAS Technologies installed fire code compliant Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERRCS) inside 2 new warehouses near Columbus, Ohio. The warehouses, totaling 850,000 square feet, are part of a newly constructed industrial park in Franklin County, Ohio. VeriDAS was selected to design, install and certify the code-required in-building first responder signal booster systems to extend, amplify and optimize the AHJ's public safety radio system frequencies inside the expansive industrial facilities.

PROJECT

VeriDAS Technologies conducted RF (radio frequency) Signal Coverage Compliance Testing to determine if the newly constructed warehouses near Columbus, Ohio needed Public Safety Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) [also called an Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERRCS)] installed to enable first responders’ radios to operate inside the expansive facilities. VeriDAS worked closely with the AHJ and public safety radio system administrator to design a signal amplification solution that would meet Fire Code requirements, the developer’s construction timeline and tenants’ opening deadlines. Thanks to impressive coordination and support from the City and County, VeriDAS was able to quickly design, install, certify and secure AHJ approval on the life safety systems. The developer was able to complete construction and turnover the buildings without delay.

SCOPE

The 2 new warehouses near Columbus, Ohio required code-compliant Public Safety Distributed Antenna Systems [also called an Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERRCS)] in order to comply with Fire Code. VeriDAS was selected for the project that included:

  • RF Signal Coverage Compliance Testing
  • Public Safety Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Engineering and Design
  • Coordination with the AHJ & Public Safety Radio System Administrator
  • Coordination with the General Contractor, Electrical Contractor & Fire Alarm Contractor
  • Public Safety 700/800 MHz Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDA signal boosters) in NEMA4 Enclosures
  • Public Safety 24-Hour Battery Back-Up Units (BBU) in NEMA4 Enclosures
  • Public Safety Distributed Antenna System Alarm Panels/Monitoring Systems in NEMA4 Enclosures
  • Rooftop Directional Donor Antenna & Infrastructure
  • Omnidirectional In-Building Distributed Antennas System (DAS)
  • System Installation, Commissioning, Start Up and Validation
  • AHJ Inspection & Acceptance Testing
  • Certificate of Compliance
  • System Documentation: Submittals & Closeout
  • Warranty
RESULTS

VeriDAS worked with the developer of the 2 new warehouses near Columbus, Ohio to install Fire Code compliant Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERRCS) in the new industrial facilities totaling 850,000 square foot. The ERRCS/ Public Safety DAS systems successfully met all technical, regulatory and project requirements:
