MiTek’s rapid design, manufacture, and installation of a custom mezzanine system helped the client quickly gain the essential space needed for its expanding business. The solution not only optimized the use of space but also integrated seamlessly with automated material handling systems across four floors. This streamlined material flows, ensured fast order processing even during peak periods, and upheld exceptional health and safety standards, providing a versatile foundation for growth and efficiency.
The Customer
Founded as a UK start-up to provide white label e-commerce services, our client operates international websites that take major brands directly to consumers worldwide. In addition to working with global FMCG and retail players, the company has also built an impressive portfolio of its own brands.
The Project
When planning to build a new facility at its headquarters site near Manchester, the customer invited MiTek Mezzanine Systems to quote for the freestanding mezzanine system within it. The MiTek team had previously designed and installed mezzanine solutions for three of the company's other buildings. The new development would be used for automated sortation and storage.
The Challenge
The company wanted a solution that would suit potential expansion at a later date, in order to meet the evolving needs of its client base:
→ Requirement for additional space to be provided quickly, with the ability to create additional space in the future
→ The customer wanted smooth integration with its automated material handling systems, including an Autostore solution
→ Need for efficient movement of goods and optimum space utilization to drive cost savings for the company's clients.
The Solution
MiTek Mezzanine Systems designed a phased programme to deliver the 21,558 sq m (232,048 sq ft) mezzanine system in line with the customer's requirements:
→ 3 levels of steelwork installed mid-2021 but only mezzanine level 1 (15,000 sq m) was fitted with decking and put into operation initially
→ The top 2 levels were completed and made operational in early 2022
→ Phase 1 was completed in just 8 weeks and phase 2 in only 6 weeks
→ The mezzanine solution features MiTek's new C24 continuous handrail throughout.
The Benefits
Rapid design, manufacture and installation of the mezzanine system by MiTek enabled the client to gain the space required for its business plans quickly. The mezzanine solution also secured: → Seamless integration of the automated material handling technology across the 4 floors
→ Streamlined material flows for fast order processing, even during peak periods
→ Optimum use of space
→ Excellent health and safety standards.
