Trim Mezzanine

Project Scope

The goal of this project was to create an area above ground level for new and relocated trim equipment. CR Meyer created a plan to successfully complete the project while minimizing downtime for the customer. That plan resulted in a two-phase process, the first phase included installation of the first half of the mezzanine nearest the door, allowing the customer to continue operations. Installing the first half of the mezzanine was completed by a crew of four CR Meyer ironworkers. The crew placed steel beams in the first half of the room. To minimize downtime, CR Meyer engineers designed the beams for the first half of the room to fit into place while machinery was up and running. To complete the second phase which included demo of existing trim equipment, installation of remainder of mezzanine, and installation of new and relocated equipment, CR Meyer had to wait for customer’s planned outage. Phase two was completed by having two, four-man crews working 12-hour day and night shifts. The crews had to cut out the current equipment to set the other half of the steel beams and to be able to place the new equipment up onto the new half of the trim mezzanine. CR Meyer completed phase two in three days. During those days, CR Meyer employees placed beams, welded, placed decking, placed and tied rebar, cut out the existing machine, installed new and relocated equipment, and welded the existing machine back together and put it back into place.
