Most businesses in disaster-prone areas are aware that the construction of special considerations must be taken into account in order to create a structure that can withstand extreme weather conditions. Few people think of how severe it may be a bit of time, and how strong it must be a structure to withstand the force of that magnitude. A recent structure designed by architects senior police in Florida are asked to consider all this and more as the design of the Monroe County Emergency Operations Center or EOC.
Description of requirements for the Monroe County EOC
Monroe County is one of the storm-prone regions across the United States. Located in the Florida Keys, the facility could be threatened by hurricanes and devastating winds that could bring waves with storm surge. Most facilities in this part of the state is built with the understanding that these forces can come into play, but this building was required to do more. His goal was not only survive a normal storm, but to resist and function during a call once in a lifetime storm. It had to be designed for the type of event that most people will never see, and it had to be used as an emergency command and control center during that time.
At this level, each component is critical
One of the things that the architects of police built the structure is meant is that every piece of construction is intimately linked. If a component fails, will have consequences for the components inside. Similarly, if a component fails in the interior, would create problems abroad. In response, almost everything has been designed and manufactured independently for the COE. In the light switches to air intakes, everything had to be tailored to maximize the integration of the facility and, finally, your chances of success.
Police plan further Architects
The architects who designed the police COE were chosen for their particular skill with the design of disaster-resistant buildings, and as part of which had an expert knowledge of what happens during disasters. In particular, knew that most of the generators tend to fail, no matter how meticulously maintained. To ensure that this service could continue to function, two generators were installed, each capable of generating the necessary energy. In addition, the installation is designed so that all structures are actually operating on the second floor, with parking for emergency vehicles found on the floor. This was to protect workers from the waves of 20 feet, ensuring that work can continue even in the midst of catastrophe. Impact-resistant glass has been used in all elements of the building, ensuring that it would withstand winds of up to 245 MPH.
Oversized for typical storm purpose built for the Perfect Storm
Undoubtedly, the building was far beyond the typical building code in Florida. Even exceeded what is normally required for emergency services buildings, which are held to a higher level. The architects who designed the police of this structure were addressed specifically to the perfect storm, ensuring that no matter the disaster that the state could face, the facility could continue to function and could serve as a focal point to ensure that everything around him was with the support and help as soon as possible.
