Buro-Happold to be provided around this opening on both levels. Provide IR. Category: Coordination
Lower ground level and absement2. The occupancy of the function facilities Support Lobby and Function
Facilities Support Foyer rooms are more than 50 and both rooms have a dead end that is longer than code
(12.2.5.1.3) allows and does not comply with limitation of common path of travel because the common path is
longer than 6.1m (12.2.5.1.2) Common path of travel means there must be 2 exit choices within 6.1metres and
on plan there is only one choice within that distance and requires an exit. Provide IR
Ballroom 2, Basement 2.Lower ground level and Basement 2. The function and facilities support lobby room is
more than 50. The IFC drawing for the size of ballroom 2 is increased compared to the Fire and life Safety
Strategy Report and may exceed the exit capacity. The occupancy for ballrooms 2 are required to be divided into
ballrooms 2A and 2B and exit capacity determined for the required number of people. A seating plan is required
like the ones in the IFC to match seating capacities. Provide IR.

Lower ground level ballroom 1. The size of ballroom was increased under the IFC and additional chairs allowing
for 135 increase beyond maximum in the Life Safety and Fire Strategy report. Occupancy for Ballroom 1 to be
revised and determine the exit capacity and revised seating plan. IR required.

Basement 2. For assembly occupancy, the minimum corridor width is 1120mm according to NFPA 12.2.3.8.At
least one corridor is found less than the required width and IR is required that the finished width of all corridors
for assembly occupancy is at least 1120mm clearance. Confirmation is required out-swinging doors are installed
in the vestibule.
Lower ground floor, banquet kitchen. The IFC plan is changed from the Fire and Life Strategy Report and
expanded the kitchen out of the 1 hour rated walls into the exit corridor. An exit through a kitchen is prohibited
by NFPA 101.7.5.2.1 so the kitchen plan has to be revised and removed from the exit. Also is noted that fire
rated doors cannot swing in both directions. To close the kitchen Must be contained in 1 hour walls and maintain
required widths in the exit corridors and ballroom 1 exit cannot be through a kitchen. IR required
Basement 2. A single door is provided to the exit stair for 300 people and is not enough capacity for that
occupancy load and at least 2 or 3 doors are required. The door from the vestibule to the stair is also a single
door and there is not enough dimension between the first stair riser and the elevator wall in the exit stair to
make the double door entry into stair 4. IR is required.

Ground Floor level, Stair 3. The landing at stair 3 is not complaint with the code requirements for minimum
dimension. NFPA 101.7.2.2.3.2.3 requires a stair landing to be at least a wide as the stair and for stair 3 that
means that a minimum dimension between the step and the door is 1120mm. IR is required that the required
landing dimension is built after construction changes.

Ground level. Minimum corridor width is 1120mm according to NFPA 12.2.3.8.Provide IR that the finished width
of all corridors for assembly occupancy provide at least 1120m clearance is serving more than 50 persons
otherwise the corridor is not an exit. Corridor width calculations are required using the actual occupancy loads.
Either construction changes are required to make the clearance of the path is not an exit as now constructed.
Ground level. The exit passageways connect stair 1 to the exterior referenced under Meinhardt report no. A1999
and items are not addressed. Systems that cross the exit passageway have to be removed from the passageway
with a 2 hour fire rated ceiling. No fire rated ceiling plan has been provided to Meinhardt at one year. Provide IRs
that the extent of the ceiling plan ois built and used the correct 2 hour ceiling detail and the passageway is
pressurized in accordance with the Fire and Life Safety Strategy.
Ground level. Previous Meinhardt report A1998 stated requirements for an exit passageway between stair 2 and
the exit discharge. Systems that cross the exit passageway have to be removed or separated from the
passageway with a 2 hour fire rated ceiling and latter is the more likely solution. Detail is required showing UL
design listing for the 2 hour system, An approved ceiling plan is required for a 2 hour fire rating in the exit
passageway including construction details for the penetrations.IR is required that the extent of the ceiling plan

stairs and landings to be determined. This observation superseded A2000 due to inaction for more than one
year. IR is required
Ground level, stair 1, exit passageway. An exit passageway is necessary to connect stair 1 with exterior doors at
the exit discharge as stated under Meinhardt Observation Report A1999. The plan has the following code
problems:

• Access panels are not allowed in an exit passageway according to NFPA 110(2006) 7.1.3.2.1.(6)
• Elevators are not allowed in an exit or in exit passage-ways according to 9.4.7
Submit changes to completely separate the 2 portions of scissor stair 1.Prior to testing an additional wall

Description

Un-approved Coring for slab of residential tower level27

Using Galvanized Steel Grating instead of stainless steel approved one.

item 3 Parapet Roof Level, beam at Grids B.3 and 11. The shear connection plate to the HSS girder has
a missing weld and there is a gap that is too large. Per Design Drawing Detail 6/S5071 Sheet 1 of 1
there needs to be a 6 mm fillet weld each side of the shear plate to the HSS girder

item 1 Level 3, steel framing Grid 7 to 11 and Grid B to C.5. The steel framing and the concrete curb
supporting the steel framing are not shown on Design Drawing S1124.
The welds at the connections for the tube steel beams show multiple visual defects that do not
conform to the requirements of AWS D1.1, Table 6.1.
Structural approval for the framing is required.

Residential Tower, Level 16. Throughout building provide wall details for the fire rated
shaft enclosure for the gypsum board and metal framing. Show the location of the access into this
shaft. Confirm the shaft is 2 hour rated construction.

Residential Tower, Provide confirmation that non rated plumbing chases have fire sealants at each
floor slab. Provide plans that show plumbing chases in non-rated wall enclosures for all levels.

Residential Tower, Level 6, Wood doors to units are installed without factory applied fire rated labels
for the door and frame. Remove the doors and frames and replace with doors and frames with the
correct fire rating labels. Provide the IR when the replacement is done

Office all levels with office corridors Provide the detail for these corridor walls that shows whether the
wall is rated or non-rated.

Residential Tower, Ground Level the plan shows the duct in a chase and was not built the way the plan
shows it.

Office Building, Ground Level requires compliance to be demonstrated with dead end requirements of
NFPA 101 38.2.5.2.1 that are presently not complied.

Basement 1 Previous Observation1948 in the Chauffeur’s Lounge, noted at least one door frame
(and one door leaf) were missing fire rating labels. Now all four door frames in this room have fire
rating labels. According to SBG, the new label (s) was installed by the manufacturer, Al Sultana, at the
site and is not permitted. The manufacturer does not have authority to do fire labelling at the site. and
is a serious breach of construction quality control. See Observation 2234 for the two methods to
correct this Life Safety problem at this room.
Several openings are missing either a fire rating label on the door and or frame and is a serious life
safety problem. Survey and prepare a list of all doors and frames (wood, metal or operating) missing
their required fire rating labels throughout the parcel. The Survey will be based upon the Door
Schedule.

Basement 1, Emergency
Generator The mechanical plan was not coordinated with the Life Safety plan that shows 2 hour fire
rating walls for adjacent occupancies, therefore ducts penetrating the two hour walls have to have fire
dampers including the supply and exhaust air. Revise the mechanical plan.

Residential Tower, Air Intake Shaft The inside of the Air Intake shaft near grids F x 4.5 and the
surrounding walls are 2 hour fire rated, however there are workmanship problems including open
mortar joints and the fire sealant at the wall head and jamb has to be on both sides of the wall. The
fire rated wall on the third side of this shaft is missing.

Ground Floor, Waterproofing was installed on the front vertical and sloping surfaces along the
property line of marble planters, however the side walls and back vertical surface does not have visible
waterproofing. Confirm the lack of waterproofing is permitted by the contract documents.

Basement 1, the generator is installed in the Emergency Generator room in a pond of water and the
plan
does not match the site wall construction. Provide wall rating for this room and the wall locations
including louvers and fire dampers.

Residential tower, Many openings were cast into the floor slab for vertical pipes and pipes are not
permitted at all the openings. Install required fire rated sealants at all the openings to create a
complete fire barrier at each slab including the vertical duct and at the wall (mostly CMU) joints install
a complete perimeter fire barrier at each level providing a 2 hour shaft enclosure with fire stopping.
State the 2 hour fire rated detail that the perimeter wall complies with. Any access points also require
a fire rated penetration.

At North Tower Level 1 Stair. The recessed Fire Hose Cabinet penetrates a 2 hour fire rated wall that
encloses the exit stair and is not permitted by code.

At Office Tower, 3rd Floor The wall is a 2 hour fire rated wall at an exit enclosure and penetrations
permitted in stair enclosures are only those directly for the stair enclosure in accordance with SBC
8.19.1.2 requirements. The duct, pipe and conduits are not allowed to penetrate into the exit
enclosure wall

At Resident Tower, 3rd Floor the Access is limited to the side of the transformer. Access is required for
maintenance.
Through-out the Resident Tower Mechanical fan coil units have busted through walls in order to be
installed and the unit sizes may not be appropriate for the plan. Walls have holes in them for the units
making acoustic isolation of the room impossible

Office Tower, Ground Level Three stairs serve the Ground Level of the Office Tower. Confirm Stair 5 is
not an Exit and Exit signage does not lead to this stair at all levels. If it is an Exit, then either Stair 3 or 5
has to discharge to the exterior via an exit passageway in a two hour fire rated enclosure instead of the
Lobby according to NFPA 101 7.7.2. Also see A1930 for further observations on Stair 5.

Office Tower, Ground Level the corridor connected to Stair 4 is not fully protected with limited
penetrations (7.1.3.2.1). This space has to be a 2 hour fire rated exit passageway to the exterior,
confirm when it is provided and exit signage directs occupants to the correct exit. Four doors from
unoccupied spaces open into the passageway that are not permitted (7.1.3.2.1 (5) and elevators
cannot open into an exit (9.4.7). Any door that is permitted has to have 90 minute fire label.

Basement 2, Cable trays penetrate the vertical portion of the floor slab. Confirm the floor fire rating is
provided and the appropriate matching fire protection material will be installed on all the cable tray
penetrations.

Basement 1, this duct is routed through the Stair 5 and is not permitted by NFPA 7.1.3.2.

Basement 1, Two or three hour fire rated walls surround the Emergency Generator room. Provide the
required wall rating and verify cable trays stacked 3 levels high penetrating this wall. Provide the
approved Method Statement for construction that will fire protect these penetrations.

Ground Level Routing ducts through the exit stair is not permitted by NFPA 101 7.1.3.2.1. These
penetration are not permitted.

Level 3, Framing is installed at the skylight. Provide the relative interface details that show water
tightness.

Level 3, Skylight framing is installed and has a slight cross slope away from the tower. Confirm the
required slope in both directions is provided in the framing.

Residential Tower, Level 1 ST-01 and 02 are the exits for this building. Portions of the building travel
through the Service Corridor to reach ST-01. As the potential occupancy travelling through the Service
Corridor likely exceeds 50, both doors have to swing in the direction toward ST-.01 according to NFPA
101 7.2.1.4.2. Confirm an exit sign will be posted outside Service Corridor.

Office Tower, Ground Level.


Fire Command Center, SBC 800 5C.9 requires 1 hour rated walls at Fire Command Centers and the 5.03
Fire and Life Safety plans show this is a 2 hour wall. This reinstalled door frame is without a fire rating
label. Provide the IR for a new door frame with a factory label with the correct fire rating.
Office Tower, Ground Level.
Fire and Life Safety drawings show the AHU/Mechanical room has 2 hour wall to the curtain wall and
no closure to the curtain wall has been installed. Provide the correct closure in the correct location.
Ground & First Levels, Design Development drawings included Fire and Life Safety and show a
“Smoke Baffle” according to the sheet legend. Approved requirements to be installed on site around
the openings on both levels.

Level 2 Design Development drawings were included a Fire and Life Safety set. The drawing shows a
“Facade Perimeter Sprinkler system” according to the sheet legend and to be complied on site.

Office Tower, Level 11 the balcony appears to be larger than 70 m2 of area and using 1.4 m2/occupant
results in more than 50 occupants. A Balcony with more than 50 occupants requires two exits
according to NFPA 101 7.4.1.1. and this balcony only has a single exit. Either provide a second exit from
the balcony or reduce the area of the balcony to less than 50 occupants.

Office Tower, Level 2 Ducts are installed in a future restaurant but are too low, the ceiling height under
the duct will be about 2300 mm.

Office Tower, Ground Level and Basement levels. Plan shows an air Intake shaft that provides air to the
Emergency Generator and basement parking levels and has a 2 hour fire rating. The current plan shows
a curtain wall on the north side, this is an exterior wall but it is also adjacent to other portions of the
building which must also have a 2 hour fire rating.
Office Tower Ground Level the Emergency Generator on Basement 1 has fuel storage tank in the room,
therefore the building code requires a 2 hour minimum rating for this room for walls and ceilings. A
Sky bridge connects to Parcel 5.03 above the grating for the Emergency Generator and as designed
there is no protection between the Sky Bridge and the fire potential in the Emergency Generator
room. The grating is an unprotected opening located at the face of the building exterior walls and the
FCC room resulting in a fire risk for the vertical walls adjacent to the grating.
Skylight is nearly installed but it does not have the required slope of 6 mm in 300 mm
called for in detail 3A/ 1110-5.03-CSA-5002-1of1-R03-Rev00. Provide approval for changes to this
requirement. Sealant should have been tested for compatibility according to the Sealant Adhesion
Test. Provide the approved sealant product data.

Level 3, Skylight framing is flat as Meinhardt has measured no slope on any of the members. Rain
and dirt will fall on the top surface and a slope would help move them off the skylight. Drawing 1110-
5.03-CS-A-5002 calls for a 2 % slope and is not built

Level 3. Detail on 1110-5.03-CS-A-5002 is for the lower edge of the sloping skylight and will allow
water leakage into the building as no overlapping water protection was detailed. No board supporting
the waterproofing is referenced

Residential Tower Level 1 Exit stair has less than the minimum headroom of 2030 mm required by
NFPA 101 7.1.5. Clearance is measured from the sloping surface connecting the stair nosing’s

Basement 1, Chauffeurs’ toilet NFPA 101 7.1.5 requires the minimum headroom to be 2030 mm. That
height is not provided in the toilet for the Chauffeurs

Skylight is nearly installed but it does not have the required slope of 6 mm in 300 mm called for in
detail 3A/ 1110-5.03-CSA-5002-1of1-R03-Rev00. Provide approval for changes to this requirement.
Sealant should have been tested for compatibility according to the Sealant Adhesion Test. Provide the
approved sealant product data.

Saudi Building Code (SBC) 701 Section 6.7 requires a secondary roof drainage system.

Every fire rated door and door frame must have a label and according to SBC 801 4B.15.3.5, fire rating
labels are required on all fire door assemblies. Several Meinhardt Observations document the required
labels are missing in construction

According to Intertekwho is the certification company for many fire rated Sultanah hollow metal doors
and frames, Sultanah is only permitted to affix the Intertek label to single doors and not door pairs.
Therefore all pairs of Sultanah doors and frames with the Intertek label are not compliant with SBC 801
4B.15.3.5 door labelling requirements.
Residential tower, this is a 2 hour fire rated shaft however installed gypsum board as built does not
provide the rating. The contract drawing detail does not result in 2 hour shaft construction. Based on a
2 hour UL shaft detail for gypsum board, provide IR approving all gypsum board shaft wall construction
on all floors. In the IR state the UL design number detail to which all work complies

Floors in this parcel have a 2 hour fire rating and expansion joints, therefore the floor expansion joints
must also have this rating and comply with the requirements of either UL 2079 or ASTM E1966 testing

2-15 inclusive and do not conform with the approved Civil Defense Fire and Safety Plan. Walls and
doors are required to be 120 minute resistant.

A steel Stud partition wall at level 04 slab soffit GL E-D is installed with its studs screwed to the top
channel track without allowing slab to deflect independently of the partition wall

Roof level framing. The structural steel connections as per design drawing are Contractor designed.
Approved shop drawings for the structural steel framing and connections are required.

Roof levels at grids A-E/5-9. Core holes /cut rebar found without approval.

Level 1 at grid A.5 to c and 6.2-78 structural steel framing installation is in progress with anchors
installed in cored holes and edge distances that are less than typical minimums. Coring requires
approval as per design drawing G030002, Section v, note 19.

At level 9.Light gauge steel stud wall with two of the top studs not secured within the top channels so
they resist lateral movement and not connected tight against the slab soffit above

At level 9 light gauge stud wall, the studs are fixed to the top track with screw and should be attached
to the soffit so it provides lateral support to the studs and at the same time allows for deflection of the
slab independent of the studs.

At level 8 light gauge steel stud wall, the track is away from one of the studs and provides no lateral
support for the stud.

Level 14 structural steel grid E to F /6.2 to 7.8 multiple locations at the upper truss/veil. There is a gap
between the plates and the connection does not have full contact at the faying surfaces that is
required. In addition at multiple locations the tube steel to end plate welded joints appear to be field
modified and field welded. There appears to be a large gap concealed at the tube steel field weld to
the end plate. Structural approvals for the field welds are required
