How to support customers with a unique mezzanine floor solution
For these three customers, of which two are active in fashion logistics, and the other one in general third-party logistics we faced the same challenge. All projects were on a greenfield, and all the stakeholders emphasised on a mezzanine with big spans. This has some huge advantages in daily business.
In consultation with the customer and their respective consultants we came up with a span in main beam direction of over 11 metres. Spans in other directions were up to six metres. This spans and loads have some severe impact on the floor slab. By being part of the initial floor slab engineering we could come up with a solution which could carry the loads up to 60 tons per column.
Another intelligent solution is the way how we integrated the sprinkler system in the mezzanine construction. A typical solution is to connect the sprinkler system underneath the secondary beams.
Here we used the punching pattern in the main beams to get the pipes through our mezzanine system. In our engineering stage all different main beams have been put in a similar line to get a free flow of functional holes. This required detailed machine engineering to get it sorted.
A typical bracing solution in mezzanine flooring systems is with cross bracings. To maintain the unique spans of 11 metre we engineered a portalised solution which gives the customer free access in the 11-metre direction, without any blocking element.
