Canopy with Supported HVAC Units for Exterior Cooler Boxes

At Mezzmaster by Westhead Associates Inc., we specialize in creating tailored construction solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients. Our recent project in New Jersey is a prime example of how we take on complex structural challenges and deliver results that exceed expectations.

The customer required an exterior cooler box and additional space for rooftop HVAC units. With our engineering expertise, we designed and built a solution that optimized their facility footprint.


The Challenge: Space Optimization for a Growing Business

Our customer’s facility in New Jersey was facing a space crunch. They needed an exterior cooler box but lacked the internal square footage to accommodate it. Additionally, they required a designated area for their rooftop air conditioning units but were unsure how to integrate them within the building’s limited footprint.

Westhead Associates Inc. stepped in to provide a creative structural answer to these constraints.


Our Custom Solution: Cooler Box with Canopy and HVAC Support

After reviewing the client’s operational needs, our team engineered a unique and efficient solution. We designed a custom exterior cooler box integrated with a canopy structure specifically built to house the HVAC units. This design fully utilized the available outdoor space, ensuring both components were accommodated in a single, innovative structure.

Key Elements of the Project:

Foundation and Canopy Structure

Our first task was to design a solid foundation capable of supporting the cooler box and the canopy. We ensured the foundation was robust enough to hold the weight of the heavy HVAC units positioned on top. The canopy itself was designed for maximum durability and weather resistance to ensure long term reliability.

Elevated HVAC Integration

Instead of occupying valuable ground space, we integrated the HVAC units onto the rooftop of the canopy. This creative use of vertical space allowed the customer to reclaim area within their facility while ensuring the units remained easily accessible for maintenance. This approach optimized the site layout and enhanced overall facility functionality.

Custom Cooler Boxes and Safety Handrails

The project included the delivery of custom built cooler boxes that perfectly fit the customer’s storage requirements. We also designed and installed custom handrails around the perimeter of the structure. These provide safety and ease of access, allowing personnel to operate and maintain the system without concern.


Smart Engineering for Better Results

Throughout the design and construction phases, we worked closely with the client to ensure every specific need was met. From structural integrity to the efficient use of space, every detail was handled with precision. The result is a fully functional, space saving solution tailored to the customer’s requirements.

The completed New Jersey project now features a sturdy exterior system that allows the client to store goods and run their climate control systems without sacrificing precious indoor space.
