Even at over 7000 square feet this, as with almost every other mezzanine is a game of inches. Trying to install steel in a space that’s already occupied is a BIG problem. Measuring the job is one of, if not the most important phases of a mezzanine job. Prime Alliance Marketing uses the latest in laser technology to assure accurate measurements. We also use our years of experience to scan the job site for obstructions or situations that might not be obvious to the less trained eye, but if not taken into account in the design, will be a problem once the steel starts going up. Stay tuned for more on this Cogan Mezzanine installation. It’s probably the most complex job that we’ve been involved in.

This Cogan Mezzanine is being installed in a space with a previously installed mezzanine on several sides. The deck height needs to be matched and the deck from the new structure needs to run continuously onto the old structure.

  • Columns on the perimeter of the new mezzanine structure need to be placed close to the existing mezzanine’s columns to minimize the impact to traffic patterns.
  • The new structure needs to be designed to miss the existing building support columns.
  • The new structure needs to extend to the existing structure to allow the new deck to meet the existing deck.

This gallery shows some of the results from challenges that were encountered and designed into the new structure.

Special thanks to Preferred Equipment Resource for going with a Cogan Mezzanine for this job and the expert installation job from Future Installations.
