Inspired Pet Nutrition
Permanent Storage Building
Neivalu
Enabling Inspired Pet Nutrition to meet their future growth plans with a permanent warehouse solution.
Spaciotempo’s first fully unrestricted 40m span storage and distribution hub was built in two phases and, as a permanent purchase, will support the pet food giants for decades.
Requirements
Inspired Pet Nutrition approached several temporary building suppliers before deciding that Spaciotempo were the only providers who could meet their exact structural requirements – specifically the 40m wide clear span structure that is fully manufactured in-house.
They had targets to reduce their outsourcing costs, such as double handling of goods and transportation, and bring all storage in house at their HQ. The semi-permanent storage building would allow them to achieve these goals whilst improving operational efficiency.
The solution
By consolidating their storage & distribution on the same site, Spaciotempo are helping IPN meet their future growth plans.

Two Phase Installation
Through a clear end-to-end project management plan, in line with the business continuity objectives of the client and allowing them to continue trading, Spaciotempo crafted a work schedule that involved completing the permanent warehouse in two build phases.
Phase one wrapped with a completely sealed 40m x 60m building and was used by IPN until we went back to site to extend the warehouse by a further 30m length. Between these phases, the existing cladded gable is removed and the new frame is raised in 5m increments to provide all the strutural integrity you would expect from a Spaciotempo building.
Once the insulated roof is inflated, there is absolutely no sign the building has been modified at all. In total, it took just 7 weeks to complete both phases, with little to no disruption or downtime.

Immediate Spatial Relief
Before working with Spaciotempo on this project, Inspired Pet Nutrition had no choice but to outsource as much as 1/3rd of their 15,000 total pallet inventories to off-site storage facilities and this was costing them a fortune, whilst becoming increasingly difficult to effectively control their stock.
Through clear two-way communication, they quickly learnt that Spaciotempo could meet their exact requirements and more, providing expand and flex infrastructure for them to bring all storage in house as well as distribute all goods directly from their main production facilities in Thirsk.

True Building Innovation
This was one of the first projects where we have deployed the Z Flashing System for the client. The solution seals around the entire perimeter of the building, except for access points, to completely seal the structure from both rainwater and vermin. It is particularly effective on sites where the ground naturally slopes, and water would otherwise flow into the building.
Additionally, Spaciotempo could not only provide the client with the 40m width structure that they needed, but the flagship Neivalu building boasts an unobstructed knee brace system in the truss, meaning that they will be able to maximise all available storage at height right up to the apex with the installation of a racking solution.
“The communication we got back from Spaciotempo was always within 48hrs and always really clear.”
“Just as impressive was their flexibility – they were the only company we contacted that were able to give us a full 40m wide span, exactly what we were looking for”.
