CLIENT:  Wither Hills

LOCATION:  Marlborough

COMPLETED:  January 2016

In 2009 Wither Hills Winery engaged Apollo Projects to manage all aspects of an on-going expansion programme, expanding their capacity from 6,000 to 15,000 tonnes.

Gaining resource consent for the expansion has been a significant part of Apollo’s involvement to date, along with the design and build of various areas to allow reorganisation in preparation for the main expansion project, including the installation of a new effluent treatment plant of 15,000 tonne capacity.

The existing lab, tasting area and winery offices have all been extended along with completion of landscaping, parking and new roading. Apollo have built a new receivals and press bay, and relocated all of the receivals and press plant to the new location. We have also built the first stage of the new red cellar and external tank slab, where the receivals & press bay used to be, in readiness for the next phase of expansion.

Construction of the white tank hall and fruit cellar started in October 2014 and was completed early 2016 in time for the harvest.

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.
