Project Focus – Mezzanine Solution for autobody repair shop
Client Challenge:
A locally owned autobody repair shop in Central Oahu that specializes in restoring damaged vehicles with expert autobody repair and colors to factory paint specifications has serviced the community for 35 years. In recent years, storage on Oahu has become a luxury & no fast solution to solve this substantial challenge is in sight. The autobody repair industry has continued to show growth.
Several years ago, it was determined that the space being utilized for storing replacement parts for upcoming jobs was a waste of company assets & in the way of current jobs. The constant movement of the replacement parts was not only becoming difficult to do at times, the risk of damage to the parts was high & truthfully a waste of company productivity.
Unistrut Hawaii Solution:
An FCP Free Space Mezzanine with the exclusive FCP ConnectRite cold-formed steel connection system provided a solution to meet the client’s criteria. The first moment-resistant, bi-directional mezzanine system, FCP Free Space Mezzanines allow for maximum load capacity and open floor space while meeting stringent seismic requirements. Column spacing makes efficient use of space underneath the mezzanine while offering hefty load capacity for storage on top. The client was able to move their replacement parts inventory from the warehouse floor to the new mezzanine.
The FCP Free Space Mezzanine solution offered the client a quick and ready solution for additional square footage without acquiring more real estate and avoiding additional expenses and operational disruptions associated with moving into larger facilities.
