Project Description:

The works comprise the delivery of a major multi-storey extension and vertical expansion to the existing U Store-It self-storage facility in Galway, significantly increasing capacity and modernising the building’s operational layout.

The project includes the construction of a new four-storey T-shaped extension, comprising an open ground floor with three additional floors above, positioned to the front of the existing facility. In parallel, the first two bays of the existing structure are being vertically extended, involving the careful removal of existing roofing and structural beams and the modification of column heights to accommodate two additional floors. These new floors are fully integrated with the new extension and the existing first-floor level to create a cohesive, multi-level facility.

A new lift shaft is also being constructed within the existing floorplate, improving vertical circulation and accessibility throughout the expanded building. The works require detailed structural coordination, phased construction sequencing and careful integration with the existing operational facility.

Delivered by OCC Construction, the project demonstrates our capability to manage complex commercial extensions, structural alterations and live-environment works, while maintaining safety, quality and programme certainty.
