CLIENT: Indevin
LOCATION: Hawkes Bay
This project comprised the full design and turn-key delivery of a 4,000 tonne greenfield winery in Hawkes Bay. The fully automated winery incorporates both red and white wine processing and utilises Kingspan insulated cladding product to create a thermally efficient processing environment. The winery amenities include main office, meeting room, staff facilities and winemaker’s lab.
The project presented specific programming challenges with client design approval being provided in September 2007. Apollo’s programme management enables the design and construction to be staged with the onsite team pressing ahead with the building works as the process service components were being constructed off-site in kitset form. The achievement in completing the project ready for the March 2008 vintage is something that the entire team are very proud of—design and construction of the 4,000 tonne facility in six months!
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.
