The Challenge
Hi-Level worked with Hanovia UV Ltd to supply, deliver and install a single level mezzanine structure as an additional practical space to their ground floor. Our client has been at the forefront in developing and building highly efficient UV technology systems. Their operations centre in Slough had unused vertical space, thus a mezzanine was the ideal solution to help facilitate their growth and boost productivity.
Hanovia had to maintain their normal operating hours throughout the installation and a schedule had to be devised to ensure we completed the project on time with minimal disruption.
The Criteria
The final requirements of the project were detailed as follows:
- 299m² mezzanine floor area
- 7.5km² load bearing for storage
- One-hour fire protection
- LED lighting and small power
The Solution and Result
Our designers developed a bespoke mezzanine which was seamlessly integrated into Hanovia’s warehouse. A key aspect of the specification was strategically placing the columns to avoid obstruction to their existing pallet racking storage and regular operations. The 38mm particle board was used for the project, a popular choice for environments where strength and durability are essential whilst also being cost-effective. Per our client’s request, the board was covered in linoleum to increase the durability of the floor, ease maintenance and improve the final aesthetic look. In addition, ancillaries for the project included a specialised pallet gate for bulky goods, general access and utility staircases and full edge protection. Such ancillaries had a blue powder coated finish to suit Hanovia’s brand colours.
We complied with Building Regulations to provide a suspending ceiling for up to one-hour fire protection. This was complemented by LED lighting on the underside for ease of use.
Hi-Level’s close-knit team of experts successfully created a bespoke design, unique to Hanovia’s premises and specific requirements. Hanovia requested a quick turnover which was met from point of order to installation, ensuring minimal disruption to their operations. As a result, we were pleased to have completed the project promptly to our client’s absolute satisfaction.
