Warehouse and Industrial

Project Details

Apollo Projects was contracted to design and build a large 5,000m² storage warehouse with a 1,500m² freight cross dock station and 300m² office with staff facilities. 

Located at Tauranga's Tauriko Business Estate, construction was staged to allow Fliway early access to the cross dock facility. The new cross dock has increased efficiency and speed of unloading night freight along with improving the sorting and reloading of daytime delivery trucks by 4-5 hours.

Both the cross dock and warehouse are constructed with a steel frame and coloursteel cladding, with the warehouse having tilt slab panels to 5m. They both also have post tension slabs, which means there is no cutting required – a big advantage in terms of protecting materials handling equipment and freight packages. Two large canopies provide weather protection, and drive around access improves manoeuvrability and loading efficiency. The office, constructed with a combination of timber and steel framing and titan board cladding, is a modern design with staff facilities including a large outdoor entertaining area.
