Delta MW and EPS-FR Panel Awning and Patio Roof System Revision 1-4 5 1 Summary 1.1 General SOTERA has been engaged to carry out fire engineering assessment of the proposed performance solution for the project: Client: Delta Panels Pty Ltd Project Title: Delta MW and EPS-FR Panel Awning and Patio System This summary gives the proposed performance solution and BCA issues. The main body of the report provides the detailed documentary evidence justifying the performance solutions. To avoid errors in duplication material may not be repeated. The main body of the report must be read in conjunction with this summary. 1.2 Brief Description of Application This fire engineering report is intended to assess the generic application of Delta mineral wool (MW) and expanded polystyrene (EPS-FR) panel awning and patio system when used as a Class 10a structure (awning or patio roof) attached or adjacent to a Class 1a building positioned within 900 mm of a site boundary pursuant to NCC 2022 Housing Provisions Standard & Volume 2. 1.3 Fire Safety Systems (A) Performance solution systems: (a) This performance solution is solely applicable to a roofing system incorporating Panel Type I and Panel Type II in the orientation (and observing the dimensional constraint) indicated in Figure 3-4. The roofing system may be supported by a non-combustible supporting structure and have non- combustible plumbing fixtures (gutters and downpipes). Panel Type I and Panel Type II may comprise of either the DeltaTrim™ system profile or DeltaOrb™ system profile and shall adhere fully to the overall system requirements outlined within Section 3. (b) All components used in the awning construction shall be compliant with Section 3. The components shall not be modified except with the written authorisation of the manufacturer and SOTERA. (c) The following restrictions apply for the Class 10a awning or patio roof installation: (d) Two or more sides (making up at least one third of the awning perimeter) shall be “open”; that is the roof covering shall be more than 500 mm from another building or allotment boundary on at least two sides without enclosing these sides with a wall, privacy screen or the like within 500mm of the edge of the roof covering. A boundary along a road or public space such as parklands, lakes, rivers and the like (where the construction of buildings is unlikely) may be considered open regardless of proximity to the boundary subject to no vertical obstruction (wall, privacy screen or the like) within 500 mm of the edge of the roof covering. (e) The awning structure shall not provide direct vertical support to any part of the adjacent Class 1 building. (f) The section of the Delta MW and EPS-FR Panel awning and patio roof system which is located within 900 mm of a site boundary shall be Panel Type I and consist solely of non-combustible components (subject to (d)) including: (i) DeltaTrim-MW or DeltaOrb-MW panels (ii) Steel fixtures, gutters and the like (iii) Steel columns, beams, purlins and the like (iv) Metallic flashing
