Sprinkler Installation: Almost Complete!

,

An email came today via Jim Ljunglin '57, Jay Webb '61, and Chris Geer of Albany Fire Protection detailing that we're very close to having a complete fire sprinkler system! The installer built the riser, drain, and fire department connection yesterday, and it's planned that the dry system/anti-freeze loop will be built and tied in today. After all that is done, required tests will be completed, the alarm company will be notified to install notification sensors, and the city will inspect and certify the whole package.

Like before, as updates come in, we'll post them here!

PiZetes.org Lauded for Info Tech Prestige

,

Recently, Elder Mike Bruce ’08 joined IHQ's Communications Board. He was told by them that the Pi Chapter excels in online presence and serves as a model for other chapters. The Pi has also been told in the past that they have the most extensive database and back end systems throughout the Zeta Psi world. This will only improve as a result of the planned telecommunications project during RPI's winter break, when the house will get completely rewired for Ethernet and coaxial cable capabilities.

Of course, none of this would be possible without Frank Harrington ’91 and Mike, who built the mailing list database, website, social media pages, and back end all pretty much on their own. Thanks, guys, and thank you to IHQ for the praise! We'd be happy to share what we know with other chapters!

Update No. 3: Sprinkler Installation

,

An email came down from above today, from Chris Geer at Albany Fire Protection, Inc., via Jay Webb ’61. Here's where the project stands:

  •  Two workers are currently installing pipe at the house.
  • The main supply pipe in the wing is complete, running from the kitchen to wing head.
  • All of the piping on the second floor is complete. All to be done is the installation of the sprinkler heads.
  • The piping to the third floor is "stubbed," or stopped off for now. The company is planning on doing the entire third floor and then finishing up the first floor.

Thanks for the update Chris and Jay! Of course, updates will be published as they come out. Stick around!

Update No. 2: Sprinkler Installation

,

An email sent to directors and actives from Jim Ljunglin '57 provided an update on the fire sprinkler project. Some points are listed below:

  • Work began this morning, August 6.
  • Dan, the installer, is running 2 1/2" pipe from the communications room behind the kitchen, over the ice maker, and down the wing.
  • After the supply pipe is laid out, work will begin on plumbing and installing sprinklers in the rooms.
  • While the sprinkler heads cannot be painted, the pipes, which are currently black, and the fittings, which are currently red, can and likely will be painted the next time the respective rooms are painted.

Thanks for the update, Jim!

As updates are sent out from those involved with the project, they will be posted here. Stay tuned!

Sprinkler Progress!

,

We only have verbal updates from Troy regarding the sprinkler installation, but we hope pictures are coming soon. The street excavation commenced this week. A medium-size backhoe dug the hole in the street and put the earth in a big dump truck. Both these are parked in the street overnight with traffic cones channeling cars down to a single lane. There are thick steel plates over the hole. The City began tapping the water main yesterday and installed a large valve on the lateral.

More to come soon!
