Do not move seismic/sway bracing casually: not coordinating brace with fire-rated penetration.
High-risk starter answer - stop before you change, move, drill, or attach anything tied to seismic bracing, sway control, structural support, crane work, or rigging. Verify the approved detail and the qualified person's direction before acting. A brace conflict at a rated wall, shaft, or penetration can become both a seismic and firestop issue.
Ask whenever brace location, anchor, angle, attachment, or clearance changes.
Watch out
Do not modify or copy bracing/rigging from another area just because it looks similar.
Check
Identify whether you are looking at a hanger, brace, restraint, anchor, insert, structural member, rigging gear, or crane/lift-day zone.
Check the rated-assembly detail and firestop responsibility before drilling or relocating anything.
Steps
Identify whether it is a hanger, brace, restraint, or structural attachment.
Check seismic/coordination drawing if available.
Photograph full load path from duct to structure.
Focus on the actual issue: not coordinating brace with fire-rated penetration.
Photograph or mark the condition if someone else needs to approve it.
Say this to your foreman
In Seismic Bracing, Sway Control & Structural Coordination, I'm looking at: Brace with fire-rated penetration not coordinated. What should I verify before I cut, drill, seal, cover, move, or install?
