O-I Glass Ltd
Permanent Storage Building
Neivalu
Industrial permanent structure
O-I Glass Ltd partnered with Spaciotempo to create a permanent on-site storage facility to protect pallets and inventory from adverse weather conditions. Previously, the company relied on external storage solutions, incurring high transportation costs and frequent damage to stock. The new warehouse provides a cost-effective and weatherproof solution, enhancing operational efficiency and future-proofing the site.
Requirements
O-I Glass Ltd required a dedicated indoor storage space to eliminate the risks associated with outdoor storage and outsourcing inventory to external facilities. Exposure to harsh weather conditions led to significant losses, while ongoing transportation costs added further financial strain. A long-term solution was needed to ensure product safety, reduce expenditure, and streamline logistics.
The solution
The project, initially planned in 2016, faced delays due to the need to determine the optimal on-site location. Once finalised in 2022, the completed 1,820sqm warehouse provided ample storage capacity, ensuring the longevity of pallet inventory while significantly reducing external logistics expenses.

Overcoming Site Challenges
Spaciotempo’s semi-permanent structure was designed to navigate immovable groundworks on site. A stepped frame was implemented to work around these obstacles, increasing the warehouse’s usable space—something that would have been challenging with a traditional build. This bespoke approach allowed O-I Glass Ltd to fully maximise its storage potential.

Enhanced Storage and Accessibility
A key feature of the warehouse was its 8m eave height, a rarity in the temporary and semi-permanent building sector. This enabled the client to store inventory at greater heights, optimising space efficiency. Additionally, the Neivalu A-frame structure was fitted with two roller shutter doors for seamless forklift access and an advanced electrical heating system to maintain optimal internal conditions.
“The additional space provided by the Spaciotempo warehouse will help to future proof the Alloa site by increasing our onsite storage and reducing our transport movements. This will help contribute to both cost and CO2 reductions.”
