Industrial Mezzanine Construction Texas
Maximize your vertical space. Steel mezzanines, catwalks, and equipment platforms that add functionality without expanding your building footprint.
Mezzanines and elevated platforms multiply useful floor space within existing building volumes. These steel structures create elevated work areas, office space, storage, and equipment platforms without building additions. Our mezzanine construction delivers additional functionality efficiently within operational facilities.
Industrial mezzanine applications range from simple storage platforms to complex multi level production areas. Catwalks provide access to elevated equipment. Equipment platforms support mechanical systems and process equipment. Each application requires structural design matched to intended use.
Mezzanine construction in operating facilities requires careful coordination with ongoing operations. Our installation teams work efficiently while minimizing disruption to production and material flow. We schedule critical activities during low production periods when possible.

Project Specifications
Mezzanine design considers load requirements, access needs, and building integration. Structural systems range from light duty storage mezzanines to heavy duty production platforms. We coordinate with structural engineers to design mezzanines appropriate for intended use.
Freestanding mezzanines rely on their own columns and are independent of building structure. Building supported mezzanines connect to existing building frames. Selection depends on building conditions and mezzanine requirements. We evaluate options during design development.
Decking options include bar grate, concrete filled metal deck, and plywood systems. Selection depends on use, load requirements, and fire code compliance. Handrails, stairs, and gates complete safe, functional mezzanine systems.
Catwalk and platform construction follows similar principles on smaller scale. These structures provide maintenance access, equipment support, and observation areas. We design and build these systems for specific operational requirements.

Common Questions
What loads can industrial mezzanines support?
Industrial mezzanine load capacity ranges from 125 PSF for light storage to 300 PSF or more for heavy industrial use. Specific capacity depends on structural design. We design mezzanines based on actual operational requirements with appropriate safety factors.
Do mezzanines require building permits?
Most jurisdictions require permits for permanent mezzanine construction. Permit requirements vary by location and mezzanine size. We coordinate permitting as part of mezzanine projects and include required engineering documentation.
Can mezzanines be relocated if needs change?
Freestanding mezzanine systems can often be disassembled and relocated. Building supported mezzanines are more difficult to relocate. We discuss flexibility requirements during design and recommend appropriate systems.
How do fire codes affect mezzanine construction?
Fire codes may require sprinkler protection above and below mezzanines, fire rated assemblies, and egress compliance depending on mezzanine size and use. We coordinate fire code requirements during design and construction.
What is typical lead time for mezzanine construction?
Mezzanine lead time includes design, permitting, fabrication, and installation. Typical projects require 6 to 10 weeks from design start to completion. Complex or large mezzanines may require additional time.
