Seismic footings on mezzanine complete for automotive parts storage and distribution center.

Every mezzanine platform design/installation presents certain challenges.  Live loads, dead loads and seismic loads must be taken into careful consideration when designing a structural mezzanine.

When installing a mezzanine, a properly engineered mezzanine platform must be designed to withstand seismic effects. By working with qualified, experienced engineers who follow stringent seismic codes and requirements, you are ensured an optimum, safe work structure.

After the slab analysis has been performed, footings properly laid, the mezzanine platform is now a safe work environment.
