Requirements and Regulations Specific to Racking in Bend, OR

Requirements and Regulations Specific to Racking in Bend, OR

Warehouse racking and shelving systems are subject to local regulations and requirements. Complying with these regulations makes your operation safer and protects you and your employees. It’s not always easy to know what is required, but we’re here to help! Here are some frequently asked questions and information specific to racking in Bend, OR, and the surrounding areas.

High-Piled Combustible Storage

High-piled combustible storage in Bend, Oregon, is governed by specific regulations outlined in the 2014 Oregon Fire Code (OFC), Chapter 32. These regulations apply to storage facilities that hold combustible materials stored in a manner where the top of the storage exceeds 12 feet. Depending on the type of materials being stored, certain safety measures, such as fire sprinkler systems, smoke and heat vents, and egress arrangements, are required.
A detailed plan must be submitted to the local fire department for review, including the layout of the storage area, fire protection systems, and any other pertinent safety features. The fire department will assess these plans to ensure they meet the required fire code standards.
For high-piled storage, the type of fire suppression system used is critical. In Bend, different systems like Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) or Control Mode Specific Application (CMSA) sprinklers might be required, depending on the specific arrangement and hazard classification of the storage.
If the storage or warehouse is being modified or repurposed to high-piled combustible storage, a reevaluation of the fire protection systems is required. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in penalties or the requirement to make costly modifications after an inspection.
For more detailed and specific requirements, you should refer to the official guidelines provided by the City of Bend or consult with a fire protection engineer familiar with NFPA 13 and the OFC.

Are Racking Permits Required in Bend, OR?

Yes, racking permits are required in Bend, OR, for the installation of storage racks in commercial or industrial facilities. These permits are necessary to ensure that the racking systems comply with local building and safety codes, particularly considering the seismic activity in the region.

Key Requirements

  • A building permit is typically required for racking systems, especially when the racks exceed a certain height or involve significant structural modifications to the building. The permit process involves submitting detailed plans, including load calculations and seismic design considerations.

  • Given that Bend is in a seismically active area, racks must be designed and installed according to seismic standards. This includes proper anchorage to the floor and possibly the use of seismic bracing. The design must comply with the Oregon Structural Specialty Code, which is based on the International Building Code (IBC).

  • If the racking system is used for high-piled combustible storage, additional fire safety measures, such as sprinkler systems, may be required. These systems must meet the standards set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Oregon Fire Code.

  • After installation, the racking system will typically undergo an inspection by local building officials to ensure it meets all the structural and safety requirements.

About Pallet Rack Builder

When laying out your pallet rack storage system, there are starter bays and add-on bays.

Starter bays consist of two frames plus the beams, and can stand alone. Add-on bays only have one frame plus the beams, and they are designed to connect to an adjacent frame.

Each row must begin with a starter bay, and then use add-on bays to increase the length of the row. There is no limit to the number of add-on bays you can connect together in a row.
When determining the length of your row, you must account for the 3” width of each frame, in addition to your beam length.

For example, a row with two bays of 8ft beams would consist of one starter bay and one add-on bay, which would have three uprights. At 3” each, the three uprights would take up 9” of space. Add this to the two 8ft beams, for a total length of 16’ 9”.
