Project Overview

We installed a 5kpa 380m2 mezzanine floor using our pre-engineered Hi-Span modular system. The client wanted to utilize unused space over their existing cool room. We were happy to accept the challenge.

We were able to accomplish this task by propping the ceiling from the inside to make it safe to work on. Then we penetrated the ceiling to install our columns/beams and purlins.

We then re-suspended the ceiling causing little disruption to the business production line. We created a custom 4 meter high stair with mid landing and Ball-Tube handrails. We installed a custom Verge safety gate, able to cater for 2 pallets at 2400mm high.

Unlocked 380m2 of storage above the existing cool room.
