Project Overview: Food Industry Mezzanine Fit Out

CID Workspace recently completed a specialized mezzanine fit out for Eurofrutta, a leading UK supplier of fresh, frozen, and organic fruits and vegetables. The project’s focus was on maximizing warehouse storage and enhancing operational efficiency while ensuring strict compliance with food safety regulations. This food industry mezzanine fit out included a fire-rated mezzanine floor, a pallet gate for safe stock handling, dedicated HVAC and refrigeration installations, and fully compliant hygienic panelling for cold storage.

Fire-Rated Mezzanine Floor

A major aspect of this food industry mezzanine fit out was the installation of a fire-rated mezzanine floor, built to support Eurofrutta’s high-volume produce storage requirements. The mezzanine doubled the warehouse’s storage capacity and adhered to stringent fire safety standards, essential for food industry operations. Additionally, a heavy-duty pallet gate was integrated to allow safe, efficient loading and unloading from the mezzanine, minimizing risk for employees handling fresh produce stock.

HVAC and Refrigeration

Temperature control is critical in the food industry, so this mezzanine fit out included a comprehensive HVAC and refrigeration system to regulate cold storage spaces. CID Workspace installed powerful HVAC units and refrigeration supplies that maintain precise climate conditions, ensuring that Eurofrutta’s fresh and frozen products remain in optimal condition. This controlled environment is essential for regulatory compliance, safeguarding Eurofrutta’s produce quality from storage to dispatch.

Pallet Racking for Optimized Produce Storage

To further enhance Eurofrutta’s storage efficiency, CID Workspace installed a tailored pallet racking system on the mezzanine floor. This pallet racking supports the weight and dimensions of fresh and frozen produce, creating an organized layout for Eurofrutta’s inventory. By including optimized pallet racking, this food industry mezzanine fit out has helped Eurofrutta streamline their stock management, improve accessibility, and make the best use of vertical warehouse space.

Full Electrical and Lighting Solutions for Warehouse Safety

Our team completed all electrical installations as part of the mezzanine fit out, including lighting, emergency lighting, and power distribution systems. In food industry operations, effective lighting is crucial for clear visibility and safety compliance. CID Workspace ensured that all areas of the mezzanine, pallet racking, and cold storage were well-lit, allowing for seamless stock handling and safe working conditions. Our comprehensive power solutions also supported Eurofrutta’s HVAC and refrigeration needs.

Warehouse Amenities: Locker and Washroom Fit Out

Supporting employee welfare was a priority in this food industry mezzanine fit out. CID Workspace installed staff locker rooms and washrooms to ensure Eurofrutta’s team has a secure, comfortable environment in which to work. By adding these dedicated amenities, we enhanced the warehouse’s functionality, providing hygienic facilities for staff to use during long shifts, and helping Eurofrutta maintain high standards for employee care within the food industry.

Results: Increased Storage and Compliance for the Food Industry

This mezzanine fit out provided Eurofrutta with a more efficient and compliant warehouse. The fire-rated mezzanine, combined with the specialized pallet racking and climate-controlled cold storage, has transformed Eurofrutta’s facility into a high-performance space tailored to food industry needs. By maximizing vertical storage and integrating essential amenities, this food industry mezzanine fit out enables Eurofrutta to meet growing demand while ensuring that all operations align with the strict standards of the food storage sector.
