Standard Mezzanine Floor Systems consist of

galvanized profiled steel deck, joists, beams and
intermediate support columns. Main beams can
span in lateral directions and joists in longitudinal
directions.

Fascias
Fascias are used for architectural purposes to
conceal the gable of the building. A variety of Fascias
either straight or inclined can be provided. Fascias
are cantilevered from the main frame columns on
the sidewall and from the wind columns on the
endwall. Flush Fascias or parapets Fascias can also be
provided.
Kirby provides Fascias specially designed to your
requirements. These Fascias can have vertical,
horizontal or curved sheeting to enhance the
architectural look of your building.

Crane Support Systems

Buildings can be designed to support any required

crane system. Generally, overhead travelling cranes
up to 15 MT are supported on brackets. For higher
capacities, an independent support system is
provided. Crane support for overhead travelling
cranes includes brackets, beams and bracings. In
addition, buildings can be designed to carry JIB-
Carnes, Mono Rail Cranes, Wall Travelling Cranes,
Semi-Gantry Cranes as well.

Canopies
Wall canopies over doors and windows at sidewall or
endwall are available.
Sidewall canopies are supplied without soffit panel
and endwall roof extension canopies are supplied
with K.R. soffit panel unless noted otherwise.
Endwall roof extension canopies are not to be
supplied with soffit panel if the building remains open
all around. Canopy brace angle should be supplied
for bay spacings over 7000 mm or as required.
