By Apollo Projects
CLIENT: Orion
LOCATION: Christchurch
Orion New Zealand Ltd engaged Apollo Projects for the design and delivery of this 3,200m² greenfield head office and network depot in Harewood, Christchurch.
This two level building utilises a structural steel frame and concrete intermediary floor to meet Importance Level 4 (IL4) code requirements for critical infrastructure buildings.
The exterior is clad using Kingspan “Benchmark” Architectural Panel System providing the benefits of lightweight construction with modern insulation and fire safety technologies.
The fit out component includes a central command unit for crisis management, generation backup electrical supplies and a demountable data and communication centre.
The development includes the internal fit out of services and furnishings and was completed in May 2013.
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.
