CLIENT: Golden Bay Fruit
LOCATION: Motueka
COMPLETED: 2019
AREA: 20000m²
Having outgrown their existing facility in Motueka, Golden Bay Fruit decided to invest in a new coolstores and packhouse development. Apollo Projects was employed to complete both the design and construction - one of the key reasons Apollo was chosen to complete their new facility was due to the understanding of the importance this facility has to their brand – this is not just a pack house and cool storage facility.
This impressive new state of the art facility was developed in three stages, comprising a total floor area of 20,000m² to accommodate eight new coolstores along with an automated packhouse, drive-through canopies and offices.
The packhouse includes a large reinforced concrete mezzanine that links through to an automated packaging plant. Reinforced concrete floors throughout the facility have been installed to serve various loads and uses. Kingspan product has been installed to insulate and fireproof the building, which incorporates automated apple sorting and packaging technology.
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.
