mezzanines<\/a> characterized by their long spans. But what does \u00a0“long spans” actually mean? Spans refers to the distance between the supporting columns at ground level. These columns are crucial for supporting the floor above.<\/p>\nA standard span usually ranges between 5 and 8 meters of space between the columns. For long spans, this spacing is larger: approximately between 9 and 15 meters. This means fewer columns are needed, leaving much more usable space on the first floor.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t
\u201cOur team of structural engineers has over 25 years of experience in the accurate design of such mezzanines. With Almacon, we are pride on using our knowledge and expertise to very accurately design these long-span mezzanine floors, where figuratively speaking, \u2018The sky is the limit\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h6><\/div><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nWhy do customers choose long spans<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n- More space
<\/strong>The larger distance between the columns at ground level creates much more space under the mezzanine. This extra space can be used for more movement space for shipping, for example.<\/li>\n- More efficient business process
<\/strong>It frequently happens that a primary business process requires space on the first floor for execution of business activities. A secondary process such as raw material supply, storage, assembly material and return processing then takes place on the upper floor itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t
