Apollo Projects
Apollo Projects (“Apollo”) is a design and construction company, specialising in the delivery of turn-key food and beverage processing facilities and controlled environment construction. Specialist industries we operate in include. • Food Processing • Dairy • Wineries & Beverages • Cold Storage • Retail, Commercial & Industrial • Sports, Aquatics & Education Apollo is committed to providing industry-leading construction services to these sectors and has a proven track record for on-time and on-budget developments. We have designed and built large scale developments for many national corporates including Fonterra, Synlait, Foodstuffs, Big Chill and Lion Nathan. Apollo has also undertaken a number of international projects. As a design and build contractor we coordinate and manage every aspect of a build project from concept design, to consent approvals, to construction and finally commissioning and client hand-over. We tailor our services to suit client’s requirements and encourage robust discussion within the project team around materials, design and buildability. A key point of difference for Apollo is our early participation in the building and services design process – this is referred to as Early Contractor Involvement or ECI. As ECI specialists we bring both a practical and theoretical understanding of project buildability which means we develop a more efficient design. We design and build to a budget and remain conscious of design change implications at every step in the process. Health & safety is integral to the Apollo culture - Our first value is ‘Safety above all else’, and our approach to this is collaborative. On every project we employ our leading health and safety management systems, offering our clients and every project participant peace of mind, knowing that safety comes first.
