Project Overview: Industrial Warehouse and Mezzanine Fit Out for French Garden London Fresh

French Garden London Fresh, a leading distributor in the fresh produce sector, enlisted CID Workspace to perform a comprehensive mezzanine fit out and industrial warehouse transformation. The primary focus was to expand storage capacity and optimize the facility’s layout for efficiency. This project included installing a custom-designed mezzanine floor, industrial partitions, and high-durability flooring, along with electrical, data, and lighting solutions tailored to a busy warehouse environment.

Mezzanine and Warehouse Fit Out Solutions

CID Workspace’s fit out services included constructing a robust mezzanine floor, partitioning the space with industrial-grade walls, fitting heavy-duty racking, and integrating essential power, lighting, and HVAC systems. The mezzanine floor was the key element, adding significant vertical storage space that streamlined operations and maximized the use of the warehouse area.

Partition Walls

CID Workspace installed durable partition walls that supported distinct zones within the warehouse. A 3.3-meter wall divided the mezzanine floor from active areas below, establishing a controlled, organized space. Sound-reducing boards in WC partitions further enhanced the workspace, reducing noise levels and ensuring an efficient workflow.

Mezzanine Floor for Increased Storage

The 284-square-meter mezzanine floor was a focal point of this fit out, adding significant storage capacity without expanding the warehouse footprint. Designed to support heavy loads, the mezzanine featured reinforced flooring, a secure staircase, and a pallet gate for safe loading and unloading. A fire-rated ceiling below the mezzanine further enhanced safety, creating a fully compliant and functional space for French Garden London Fresh.

Flooring Solutions for the Mezzanine and Warehouse

CID Workspace installed high-durability flooring throughout the warehouse and on the mezzanine level. Altro Walkway vinyl was chosen for areas with frequent traffic, while additional reinforcement was added on the mezzanine floor to support heavy racking and equipment. These flooring solutions provide both safety and longevity, essential for a high-activity industrial space.

Optimized Racking Systems

CID Workspace incorporated heavy-duty racking systems on the mezzanine level, creating a structured and organized storage area. This racking maximizes the vertical capacity of the mezzanine, allowing French Garden London Fresh to efficiently store produce and supplies while keeping the main floor free for operational tasks. The mezzanine racking system is a core part of the fit out, transforming unused overhead space into valuable storage real estate.

Electrical, Data, and Lighting Installation for Mezzanine and Warehouse Efficiency

CID Workspace installed an extensive electrical and data network throughout the warehouse, with IP-rated sockets in the mezzanine and ground floor areas. LED lighting panels equipped with PIR sensors illuminate the mezzanine and warehouse, ensuring energy-efficient, bright lighting for safe operations. Emergency lighting further enhances safety on the mezzanine floor, especially during loading and unloading operations.

Safety and Compliance Features for the Mezzanine Fit Out

Safety was prioritized in the design and installation of the mezzanine. CID Workspace integrated a fire-rated ceiling beneath the mezzanine floor, safety rails along mezzanine edges, and a pallet gate for secure loading. These elements ensure the mezzanine area meets safety regulations and provides a secure environment for employees. All electrical components and structural materials were selected to meet industry standards, making the mezzanine a safe and compliant part of the warehouse.
