Hitting that happy balance of materials which cost less and meet performance requirements is an obvious goal for any enterprise. To that end, many of our blogs have demonstrated how raised access floors can improve efficiency and performance in virtually any work space while helping to cut operational costs.
There is one frequently overlooked detail however, which should not be left out of the cost equation...
Industrial process equipment can produce a lot of heat during normal operation. Most industries employ process cooling water (PCW) systems to help regulate equipment temperatures to levels that are safe for the general operating environment.
PCW systems pump water (or other fluid media) to and from the process equipment, creating a means by which heat can be safely exchanged and transferred away from its source.
As facilities change and relocate process equipment to accommodate technological changes, business growth, and production cycles, the flexibility to reconfigure support systems also becomes essential.

There are many reasons to design or retro-fit a work space with raised access flooring (RAF).
RAF systems create value from the bottom up by overcoming the restrictions of traditional flooring and creating a work space that is highly reconfigurable, efficient, productive, safe and organized.
Because every space is different and every design is guided by specific requirements, we decided to compose a list of 5 benefits that raised floor systems can deliver to just about any application.
You're in the initial stages of designing a state-of-the-art industrial production facility which requires fully optimized floor space with complex utility hook-ups, large equipment capacity, safe traffic corridors, healthy air-quality standards, and efficient and organized spatial arrangements to accommodate future growth.
Smartly, you decide that a raised floor system is the answer to your design challenges. Problem solved...well, almost!
