Mezzmaster by Westhead Associates Inc. recently completed a specialized mezzanine project in New Jersey for a client requiring a custom equipment platform to support incoming industrial press machines. This 2,200 square foot L-shaped mezzanine was engineered to fit seamlessly into the facility, spanning a slanted floor and extending across an existing ramp.
Engineering for Heavy Machinery: Hydraulic Press Support
What made this project unique was the requirement to install hydraulic presses both on top of the platform and on the ground level beneath it. To accommodate this, our design team carefully engineered the column layout to ensure the mezzanine structure would not interfere with the equipment footprint below.
Every column was positioned with precision to allow clear access and full functionality for both levels of machinery. This detail-oriented approach ensured the platform provided the necessary structural support above while avoiding any operational disruption on the facility floor.
Structural Integrity: I-Beam Steel and Bar Grating
To meet the heavy load requirements of hydraulic presses, the platform was constructed using:
- Heavy-Duty I-Beam Steel Framing: Providing the essential strength and long-term performance required for industrial applications.
- Bar Grating Deck: Chosen for its durability, safety, and ability to handle concentrated loads.
Every component was engineered to maximize usable space while maintaining the highest standards of structural integrity.
Coordinating Tight Installation Timelines
Timing was a critical factor for this project. The client had a fixed delivery date for their new hydraulic presses, making it essential for the mezzanine to be fully installed before the equipment arrived.
The Mezzmaster by Westhead Associates Inc. team coordinated closely with the client’s schedule to ensure the installation was completed without delays. This allowed the presses to be delivered and commissioned exactly on time.
