CLIENT
Fliway
Apollo Projects was contracted to design & build a large 5,000m² storage warehouse with a 1,500m² freight cross dock station and 300m² office with staff facilities. The complex was constructed on a 15,000m² lot with approximately 14,000mᶾ of concrete placed.
Both the cross dock and warehouse are constructed with a steel frame, colour steel cladding with the warehouse having tilt slab panels to 5m. The construction was staged which allowed the tenant early access to the cross dock facility.
Fliway’s have frequently noted the new cross dock has increased efficiency and speed of unloading the night freight along with sorting and reloading the day time delivery trucks by 4-5 hours.
Both the cross dock and warehouse have post tension slabs which means there is no cutting required – a big advantage in terms of protecting materials handling equipment and freight packages. Two large canopies provide weather protection and the drive around access improves maneuverability and loading efficiency. The office is a modern design with staff facilities including a large outdoor entertaining area. The office is constructed with a steel structural frame, combination of timber and steel framing and titan board cladding.
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.
