and build a "fenced off area" around the wire box with your cart and ladder,

etc.

Firewall Penetrations

After all the wires have been pulled make sure that every penetration

though a fire or smoke wall has been treated with the approved fire stop.

Alliance usually uses a putty that is approved for this purpose although an

authorized caulk type fire stop is sometimes used as well. This is important

not only because of liability issues with our company or compliance to

regulations, but more importantly it inhibits the spread of flames through an

attic space should there be a fire.

Pulling Wire in New Construction

Advance Preparation

In many ways, pulling wires in new construction is easier than pulling

wire in an existing facility. The environment that the wires are being pulled

though is usually cleaner and more open at this time. However advance

preparation is still just as important in new construction as it is in an

existing building, maybe even more important. This is because other

trades are working at the same time or will come back to work at a later

stage, so we don't want to conflict with their requirements. It is important to

know what spaces you can use and what spaces other trades need.

Some key sources to gain this information include any knowledge

that you can glean from a pre-installation site inspection and visit with the

Building Supervisor. Be sure to ask about the locations of firewalls, attic

accesses and any special considerations. Consult the blueprints, drawings

and wire diagrams as well.
