Code Red Consultants was retained by the City of Quincy Building Department to assist in the third party review of a plan submittal for the Crown Colony Residences project. The project included four new luxury low-rise residential buildings with a private booster pump that would be used to augment domestic and fire protection water from the city to the site. The firm was tasked with reviewing the booster pump station to ensure that the design and installation complied with the applicable local and state codes and would also operate as designed.

The booster pump station utilized booster pumps for fire protection service that were not listed fire pumps. Code Red Consultants reviewed the code requirements and compared them to the design in order to determine the adequacy of the pumping station from a code perspective. The City of Quincy was pleased with the result of Code Red Consultants’ review of the project and expressed interest in retaining the firm for future projects of similar scale.
