Code Red Consultants worked closely with Boston Properties (BXP) and John Moriarty Associates (JMA) on the new 100 Causeway office tower which is the last major phase of The Hub on Causeway development project in Boston, Massachusetts. The 100 Causeway office tower consisted of 24 newly constructed stories above the recently completed East Podium. The base building received temporary certificate of occupancy in Spring 2021 with ongoing fit-out by anchor tenant Verizon Communications Inc.

Code Red Consultants collaborated with both BXP and JMA to develop and implement a complex NFPA 241 Construction Fire Safety Plan for the project. In addition, Code Red assisted in the development of a phased occupancy plan for the building which helped to allow the building to open on time with ongoing fit-out construction while maintaining the necessary levels of fire protection and life safety for the building.

Code Red Consultants was also responsible for performing Smoke Control Special Inspections of the building’s three pressurized stairways. During inspection, the smoke control special inspector (SCSI) verified that the smoke control equipment and system complied with the requirements contained within the applicable codes. The systems were accepted by the Boston Fire Department on the first acceptance test, helping JMA and BXP complete the project. In this spirit, the firm commissioned the building’s smoke control systems and achieved the Boston Fire Department approval on the first acceptance test visit.

Lastly, Code Red Consultants performed firestopping special inspection services for the project, helping to ensure the passive fire protection systems were appropriately selected and installed.
