BIL Group, based in Wiltshire, are manufacturers of castors, wheels and materials handling equipment.
They required additional storage space and an enclosed area for production workstations within their existing building.
HMF provided a solution in the form of a intermediately rated storage mezzanine floor at 7.2kN/m² with an inset fork lift accessed swing loading gate.
The mezzanine structure was fire rated in accordance with the latest Building Regulations codes due to the workstations being located below the mezzanine floor. This fire rating included a white 1 hour fire resisting suspended ceiling which allowed for a better working environment for persons working in the area. This workstation area was then partially enclosed off to rest of the warehouse with steel partitioning.
The solutions HMF provided enabled an increased storage space and improved working environment for their production staff.
The works were all completed in under 2 weeks and the customer was very pleased with the finished installation.
