Agricultural warehouse for SPO Zentrum, Sicily, Italy
The extension of the fruit and vegetable packaging plant in Vittoria, Sicily, had to take into consideration various aspects: on the one hand the typical function of a steel and Kopron fabric agricultural warehouse, on the other the desire to create a spacious and safe construction extremely quickly, in keeping with the context, but also equipped with comfortable work environments.
The fabric agricultural warehouse has a covered area of ​​about 800 m², attached to a warehouse of a pre-existing packaging plant, and is situated on agricultural land. The structure with a hot-dip galvanized steel frame rests on a concrete foundation. On the outside, the warehouse is covered with a resistant PVC fabric of similar colours to the existing building which it fits in with harmoniously. The pvc fabric is light grey with green inserts located near the two extremities, the typical design patented by Kopron. The light coloured fabric allows it to be brighter inside. The access points to the structure are controlled by two high speed fold-up doors, also produced by Kopron.

Come primo riferimento, nel 2026 il costo può partire indicativamente da 90-120 €/m² per configurazioni più semplici, arrivare a 120-250 €/m² per capannoni industriali completi e superare 300 €/m² per soluzioni personalizzate o con particolari esigenze di coibentazione.
Non sempre. Per strutture realmente temporanee possono essere previsti regimi autorizzativi semplificati. Se invece il capannone è destinato a un utilizzo stabile, può essere necessario il permesso di costruire. La semplice possibilità di smontarlo non determina automaticamente l’esenzione: il titolo edilizio va verificato in base al progetto e alla normativa locale.
Non sempre. A seconda della struttura e del terreno, l’ancoraggio può avvenire su pavimentazione industriale esistente, oppure richiedere plinti in calcestruzzo, cordoli/travi di fondazione o platee. La soluzione viene definita in fase di progettazione in base ai carichi, alle caratteristiche del sito e ai calcoli strutturali.
Luca Peluso, Kopron dealer for the area and owner of Logik s.r.l, claims:
“In Sicily cultivations of citrus fruits, olives, vines and fruits trees are very profitable. Companies often need to create new covered areas in a short space of time. In this context, the Kopron solutions promoted by our experience and service on the territory go well together”.
