CLIENT:  Foodstuffs Wellington

LOCATION:  Palmerston North

AREA:  12000m²

This project involved the complete design and delivery of a 12,000m² distribution centre in Palmerston North. The facility supplies frozen and chilled products to Foodstuffs supermarkets from Wellington to Waiouru. The freezers and chiller areas incorporate large post tensioned floor slabs which eliminate the need for construction joints thus reducing wear damage in high use areas. The ELA and staging area includes fourteen high speed sealed truck docks for product transfer to the distribution network.

The refrigeration system utilises an ammonia to glycol heat transfer which eliminates the risk of an ammonia leak in the product areas. The double knock fire protection system features two interconnected sensors to greatly reduce the risk of product loss through accidental sprinkler damage. The 500m² administration office includes highly specified offices, training facilities and staff amenities

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.
