Customer Description

Our customer is a vertically integrated cannabis cultivation company.

 Problem/Inquiry

Our customer had purchased an approximately 6,000 SF industrial facility that would be used for the manufacture and sale of cannabis and related products. With 24’ of clear height, they wanted to incorporate a free standing mezzanine that would allow them to double the usable square footage of the building.

 Solution

Mezzanine Distributors worked together with the customer to design and layout the mezzanine to work with their overall building design. Our collaborative approach allowed the customer to purchase a 6,000 SF facility and turn it into a completely functional 12,000 SF facility which added significant value to their real estate investment as well as allowed additional space for manufacturing and production.

Our designed system and complete turnkey offering included the following:

• Approximately 6,000 SF of additional usable square footage
• Baseplate embedment underneath the existing slab
• Cross bracing placed in a way that did not lead to any functionality limitations
• Columns and overall system designed to eliminate functionality limitations while maintaining structural integrity
• Timely and consistent communication which led to an installation that was performed with no disruption to other trades working in the building
• Fully engineered and inspected systems

Total project time from first discussions with our customer to completed and permitted system took more than two years. There were various challenges that our customer faced specifically in regards to permitting that we assisted them on. 

We worked with our customer to develop a time sensitive installation plan and once the materials had been fabricated, we arranged for all materials to be shipped to the site. After our crew unloaded all the materials on site, installation began. Through a collaborative approach with our customer, our install team, and our project manager, we were able to implement a plan and then navigate our way through the installation as close to that plan as possible to a successful acceptance of the system by our customer.

Each turnkey storage system project presents its various challenges but the Mezzanine Distributors team was once again able to supply a custom designed system and implement it with limited impact to our customers’ operation.
