Mezzanine

A mezzanine is an intermediate floor installed in a building between the main floor and the ceiling that is partly open to the main floor. They have a low ceiling and project out over the main
floor but do not completely cover it. Mezzanines can be freestanding, hung from the ceiling, or be a permanent part of a building.
In many instances, mezzanines are referred to as the floor above the ground floor. Depending on their purpose, mezzanines can be permanent or temporary and serve as extra office space, storage area, or a work platform. Mezzanines can be installed in multiple locations and formats from a platform outside a building to improve building access or as a second level to a work area.
Mezzanines Provide an Instant Storage Upgrade for Your Facility
Mezzanine decks are additional workspaces that are added as a company expands its operation and grows. They become a necessity when there is a need for extra space.

Types of mezzanines:

Freestanding Mezzanines, or equipment platforms, are not connected to the main structure of the building and are flexible enough to be reconfigured. They have a securely fixed base that is completely safe but easy to move or reposition. Supported by columns, free-standing mezzanines are bolted to the floor and take up minimal space. They are perfect for situations where the space under the mezzanine needs to be used.
Shelving and Rack Supported. Rack supported mezzanines are lighter and offer the option of a catwalk with a storage area. They are a cost-effective method of providing extra storage space. Rack supported mezzanines are supported by
rack uprights instead of structural legs. The framing of the mezzanine, joints and stringers, bolt to columns to create the decking. The connection to the columns makes the decking more stable and firmly anchored. Racks and shelves are close together to support the structure.
Catwalk Mezzanines. The principle and primary use of catwalks are as walkways for access to conveying systems, machinery, hoppers, silos, and attic space. Much like mezzanines, catwalks take advantage of overhead space by transforming it into secure and safe walkways for a multitude of purposes. They can be self-supporting like a freestanding mezzanine or hung from ceiling drops.
Full Mat combines the features of free-standing and catwalk designs and are supported by shelving or rack uprights.

NMC Facts:

On average, NCM installs 150-200 mezzanine platforms for major companies across the world yearly.
The average completion time is 3-5 weeks per platform, and 3-5 (weeks/months) per job.
The average company will build 500,000 square feet yearly; In 2022 NMC completes over 1,000,000 square feet of installation per year.

Prefabrication is the practice of assembling components of a structure in a factory or other manufacturing site and transporting complete assemblies or sub-assemblies to the construction site where the structure is to be located. The term is used to distinguish this process from the more conventional construction practice of transporting the basic materials to the construction site where all assembly is carried out.
Consists of factory-made components or units that are transported and assembled on-site to form the complete building.
The term prefabrication also applies to the manufacturing of things other than structures at a fixed site. It is frequently used when fabrication of a section of a machine or any movable structure is shifted from the main manufacturing site to another location, and the section is supplied assembled and ready to fit.

NMC Facts:

A modular building is a prefabricated building that consists of repeated sections called modules. Modularity involves constructing sections away from the building site, then delivering them to the intended site. Installation of the prefabricated sections is completed on site.
Structurally, modular buildings are generally stronger than site-built construction because each module is engineered to independently withstand the rigors of transportation and craning onto foundations. Once together and sealed, the modules become one integrated wall, floor, and roof assembly.
Permanent Modular Construction (PMC) is an innovative, sustainable construction delivery method utilizing offsite, lean manufacturing techniques to prefabricate single or multi-story whole building solutions in deliverable module sections.
A Relocatable Building (RB) is a partially or completely assembled building that complies with applicable codes or state regulations and is constructed in a building manufacturing facility using a modular construction process.

NMC Facts:

the movement of raw goods from their native site to the point of use in manufacturing, their subsequent manipulation in production processes, and the transfer of finished products from factories and their distribution to users or sales outlets.
Material handling can improve customer service by making products easy to find, move, and ship out, cut costs by reducing the amount of time spent moving the products and reduce product damages by properly transporting your products. It also ensures increased safety from permanent and temporary disabilities.
