Each season Partridge Construction works with Apata Pack house to upgrade and expand its facilities.  Construction deadlines are critical in this industry and Partridge Construction has never let them down.  In the 2007 season Partridge carried out a variety of construction works to increase the storage and packing area of the existing facilities, including:

• A new dry store packing shed of 307m2 with a linking canopy. This high stud building is of structural steel frame structure with metal cladding to roof and walls and a supported 27m long link canopy.
• Other works consisted of the Green Shed packing facilities new stand alone fork hoist shed 17m x 6m and a large hard stand paved area 2500m2 of 150mm thick.
• Due to the fast track nature of the project all yard slab areas were constructed with steel fibre concrete to reduce programme duration.

The relationship between Apata and Partridge has stood the test of time.  Past performance means Apata keeps coming back – earning such loyalty is no mean feat in the demanding horticulture industry.   Partridge Construction put their success with this client down to forward planning, with construction methods carefully chosen to fit with the narrow construction window.
