CLIENT:  Conroy Removals

LOCATION:  Christchurch

Apollo Projects were briefed to design and build a warehouse and office facility at Waterloo Business Park for Conroy Removals. The facility needed to cater for an external yard supporting heavy vehicle movements – including 60ft trucks and 25 tonne forklifts as well as 6 tonne containers stacked three high. After a full assessment of structural options for the building framework the most efficient design was to use a combination of steel portal frames and concrete walls.

To ensure the most efficient design was provided in relation to the extensive use of concrete on this project, Apollo thoroughly researched each element of the following; foundations, external slabs, warehouse floors, offices and precast concrete panels at three varying heights. The low concrete walls that were designed provide adequate bump protection from warehouse operations including forklift movements. However, the full height concrete wall along the western boundary acts as a four hour fire break and the full height dividing wall between the office and warehouse provides adequate noise attenuation.

The office facility consisted of the following administration areas including; reception, open plan office space, managers office, staff room and kitchen amenities, boardroom, operations area and an IT/server room.

Apollo managed all resource and building consent processes which lead to a fast tracked consent process overall. Despite there being frequent delays with Council consent processes, we remained on or ahead of programme throughout the entire build.

About the
Professional

We are a nationwide Design and Build company with specialist knowledge and experience across verticals as diverse as cold storage, dairy, wine, food and beverage processing, commercial and retail spaces, and recreation and leisure.

Whatever the project, our focus is simple - listen to our client and deliver absolute trust and certainty from the start.

At Apollo, we've never been afraid to challenge the status quo.

When Craig Waghorn and Paul Lloyd started Apollo in 2001, they were determined to break away from the traditional management process and do things differently. They saw an opportunity to partner with clients from the very start, taking their ideas right from concept all the way through to completion – something that was poorly executed in the industry!

Today, Apollo is a leading New Zealand design and construction company with over 40 professional project delivery and support staff across the country. We regularly work with major national companies including Fonterra, Goodman Fielder, George Weston Foods, Ngai Tahu and Lion Co., as well as private owner-operated businesses, sports organisations and Government/Council entities.

Even though Apollo has grown over eighteen years, we’ve never lost our core value that a ‘client’s trust is everything’. Apollo is different simply because we operate as a partner with our clients – our goal from the very beginning has always been to build strong relationships from which we can deliver successful projects.
