Sallyport

[masterinbama]

Have a project where armored cars will be pulled into a secured garage area. do the receptacles in this area need to be raised t0 48" above finished floor?

Are you asking as a consideration of physical damage or as a hazardous location?

 

[masterinbama]

location type. receptacles are recessed in a block wall. I know if repair work was being performed they need to be above 18"

In a usual sallyport, I wouldn't expect any work to be done but maintenance of the doors, locks, cameras, etc.

Parking garages are not treated the same as a service garage. I would expect a sallyport to be vacant most of the time as they are typically just past through parts of the secure perimeter.

i was leaning that way in my thinking

Were I inspecting, My only concern would be if the sallyport is connected (thru common entranceway) to a classified Art 511 area, I would ask for documentation that the sallyport area was unclassified by to air changes or effectively cut off by the doors.
I would want it to be a 500.4 decision not my opinion.

Never heard the term "Sally port" before. Had to look it up. Learn something new everyday I guess

Likely means you never had the "pleasure" of riding in the back of a police vehicle

Oh yeah, been there done that! Johnny law and I had some disagreements for a while. So I went through one and never knew it.

There are 2 separate makeup air units. 1 for the garage area and one for the vault area. separated by a 4 hour fire/smoke wall.
