Brief
Working with our trade customer Mezz9, we were briefed to design and supply a mezzanine edge protection system for a workshop in Loughborough. The end client, operating in the railway industry, required a bespoke mesh guard that complied with building regulations, ensuring a safe and permanent barrier for engineers working on the mezzanine floor.
Delivering a solution that met safety standards while maintaining durability and structural integrity was key to the success of this project.
Solution
Our team designed a 20-linear-metre run of Mezzguard partitioning at 1.8 metres high. The system incorporated 80mm x 40mm strong posts and 50mm x 50mm mesh panels, each 1220mm wide, along with a horizontal section forming a handrail. Additionally, a 1-metre gap was designed to accommodate a forklift access pallet gate, ensuring practical functionality.
To ensure compliance, Mezz9 provided full supporting plans, mapping out the perimeter of the mezzanine and the staircase area. These detailed drawings were submitted for approval by the client’s directors before manufacturing commenced.
The Mezzguard partitioning system was engineered to withstand an impact side load of 0.74 kN/m, adhering to BS6399 regulations for industrial use. The finish was in RAL 1018 Yellow, ensuring high visibility for safety.
Completion
Installation was successfully carried out by Mezz9, with the project completed on time and within budget.
