Earlier this year I started working with Tyler and PWI on a 15,000 SF mezzanine structure for a biomedical customer. The mezzanine design required a lot of attention to detail as we needed to work around the customers manufacturing needs, the PEMB structure and achieve some large spans. Tyler and the team at PWI was very willing to take the time to get the mezzanine specifications dialed in for me and the customer and the finished product is just what we needed.
We needed a Mezzanine in our organization's aircraft hangar for spare parts storage. PWI provided a super simple mezzanine package with stairs. It bolted together and was as easy to build as anything could have been.
No welders or cutting torches required. Simply the industrial version of a Lego kit.
The structure kit was installed in one afternoon with three guys, a forklift for the heavy beams, and a couple of wrenches to tighten bolts. Decking was installed from locally sourced materials.
The fact that everything fit together without PWI having been on site speaks of their ability to understand a customers needs over the phone, and deliver a solution instead of another problem.
From start to finish, every PWI team member was a pleasure to work with. The team accommodated all our requests. The product produced is high in quality from design to fabrication. We provided the PWI team the wrong weight limit information for a set of storage racks. The team handled the situation professionally and produced a feasible solution while catering to our suggestions. We requested one of our platform floors to be painted after the install and the team fulfilled the request without question. The 3 work platforms and 4 custom racks look amazing!
Here are some common questions asked by customers. If your question hasn't been answered, send us a message.
Mezzanines are an affordable alternative to new construction. You can avoid the hassle of building permits, general contractors, and months of waiting.
Generally speaking, yes. Local ordinances vary significantly so it is always best to check with your local city/county/state for the most accurate requirements. Some mezzanines are classified as “equipment platforms” and will not have planning or permitting requirements.
Each mezzanine project has a different scope and can vary on process length. When you receive your quote, you will receive an estimate on lead time and your project manager will communicate with how long the process will take.
You can customize the shape, size, height, and weight capacity of your mezzanine so it fits your existing building and requirements.
You can also choose flooring type and guardrail type for your mezzanine package.
While adding a stair is optional it is typically included. Many industrial customers choose to add a VRC Material Lift to transport material from the ground floor up to the mezzanine floor. These are also called freight elevators or vertical reciprocating conveyors. They are a reliable and affordable alternative to a forklift.
Flooring is often determined by the application and loading that will be present. Keep in mind what psf or point loads may be present for your application. We use B decking as the subfloor and plywood, ResinDek, or concrete for the finished floor.
A mezzanine package provides a second level for equipment, storage, office space, etc. It often includes structural steel, flooring, guardrail, access gates, and stairways.
Yes, many mezzanines are designed for office space or storage rooms which need to be enclosed.
Mezzanine height is often determined by the space available in the existing building, while keeping in mind any required clearances above and below the structure to meet the desired applications.
The main benefits of a mezzanine are:
Mezzanines take advantage of vertical space. A mezzanines is a raised platform that will be on top of your work area. Our design team will design a mezzanine that will fit your workspace.
Mezzanines can be as large as they need to be to meet your requirements.
