With a little help from NSI Projects, building a mezzanine floor is much easier than you would think. Our Industrial Mezzanine Floors are modular in design, enabling construction to be simple when on your premises.
There are a number of factors to consider when thinking about how to build a mezzanine floor:
- Firstly you will need to determine the loads that would be imposed when building the mezzanine floor and have a structural engineer calculate the steelwork required, and that the resulting load on your concrete floor is within design tolerances. NSI can do all this for you as part of their professional mezzanine floor installation service.
- Secondly, you will need to determine the nature of the mezzanine flooring material, typically for industrial mezzanine floors in 38mm chipboard, either moisture resistant or standard, or for some heavier duty industrial mezzanine floors, an alternative material used in building a mezzanine floor such as chequer plate steel or steel mesh panels.
- Consideration will have to be given to planning the building of the mezzanine floor with regards to safe evacuation of personnel (travel distances), what the floor will be used for, how many sets of stairs and whether the mezzanine will need a 1 hour fire rated suspended ceiling to the underside. This involves the inclusion of the Building Control Regulations in your planning - a service NSI can undertake on your behalf as part of their professional mezzanine floor service.
- You should also determine the ease of building a mezzanine floor construction, particularly the safety of anyone building the floor at height or working below, but also the access of heavy pieces of steel mezzanine from a delivery point to the location of build. NSI's quick and easy mezzanine installation service can resolve many of these problems for you. We are professional project managers and are well versed at putting up industrial mezzanine floors in the most difficult of circumstances. Always ask our advice, we've probably come across a situation not unlike yours before, regardless of how complicated a mezzanine construction might seem.
- Protection of installers working at height on the floor and the use of the correct lifting and access equipment is vital to ensure the safety of the project. Two key areas of Health and Safety risk are the exposed edges created by the "leading edge" as the decking material is laid and to the perimeter of the floor before the handrail is fixed. NSI's method of building a mezzanine floor construction and use of skilled installers trained to work at height offers peace of mind for any Directors or managers responsible for the safe installation of the industrial mezzanine floor.
- Finally, it would be NSI's strong advice to future-proof the design of your industrial mezzanine floor at the very outset - what would be the next stage in your mezzanine floor construction extension or other premises expansion, and how can we plan for that now?
