Valento: <br />73511"' St. E.- Sulto 204 <br />Glencoe, MN 55338 <br />(320) 9645642 <br />FAX (320) 864-5672 <br />As requested. we have analyzed the design of existing 40' -0" common trusses at 2' -0" <br />o.c., to determine their capacity to carry a proposed new sprinkler system. You have <br />provided us with a (1) page sketch showing the dimensions of the truss and the truss plate <br />connectors (dated 8 -2 -00). Our analysis is based upon the information provided to us by <br />you with this docutncnt. <br />Based upon the enclosed analysis. we have determined that the existing truss design did <br />not originally include provisions for the additional dead loads that would he imposed by <br />the proposed sprinkler system Furthermore, it is our opinion that reinforcement of the <br />truss for the proposed loads would not be a feasible option, due to the extensive nature of <br />the repairs that would he required. <br />If you require any further information.
