Request Project ReviewWeather Protection · complete-property resilience
Apollo NZ Global treats severe weather as a connected property system. Wind, flood, fire, heat, coastal exposure and infrastructure interruption can interact, so the strongest protection strategy starts with the resilience pathway rather than a shopping list of products.
Weather Protection · Key answers
Apollo Weather Protection is a project framework connecting hurricane and cyclone protection, flood defence, stormwater, coastal exposure, exterior solar control, wildfire and ember resilience, and broader building-resilience planning.
No. The useful starting point is the exposure and resilience pathway: what is exposed, what happens next and which verified system can strengthen that sequence.
Start with the location, plans or photographs, relevant opening dimensions, known weather exposures, site-water behaviour, exposure conditions and any existing engineering or project information that affects the building interfaces.
Exact structural, flood, drainage, electrical, wildfire and other design requirements remain tied to current product information, local rules and qualified professional input. Apollo does not replace local engineering or statutory approval.
Yes. Apollo can review a Coming Soon requirement against the project brief and confirm suitable product, documentation and supply options where available.
Whole-property method
Weather resilience is strongest when the site, building shell, essential systems and recovery pathway are considered together.
Site → Perimeter → Shell → Life Systems → Recovery
What is exposed, what happens next, and where can the sequence be strengthened?
Protect the structure, preserve essential use, shorten the recovery path.
Compare everyday value as well as hazard-day value.
Review shelter, water, sanitation, food, communications and temperature over a 72-hour period.
Record evidence, limits, maintenance and the next useful improvement.

Open pathwayUse the Five Rings, Resilience Pathway, Protection Dividend and 72-Hour House Test to decide what matters first.
Open pathwaySevere-weather impacts can develop as connected chains: an opening is compromised, water enters, power is interrupted, a pump stops and recovery becomes more complex. Apollo maps those sequences so one intervention can strengthen the most important pathway.
The property should be read in layers: the site and water path, the perimeter, the building shell and openings, the life systems that keep the occupants functioning, then the recovery pathway. That keeps product selection connected to the actual property.
A resilient property should resist the event, preserve essential functions where practical, and make cleanup and repair less punishing when the event exceeds the protection in place. Apollo uses those three outcomes when comparing systems.
Hard ratings, tested spans, impact claims, water depths, fixings, electrical interfaces and fire-performance information stay tied to the exact product and project. Coming Soon families are confirmed in more detail as they become available.
Project planning sequence
Map the hazard and building interfaces. Prioritise the interfaces with the greatest consequence. Verify the exact product information and local design requirements. Integrate structure, drainage, power, access and recovery. Maintain the system so the protection remains effective over time.
Project-specific technical review
The planning guide helps identify what to protect and which questions to ask. Structural, flood, electrical, wildfire, drainage and product-performance decisions are then confirmed against the selected system, current project documentation, local requirements and qualified professional input where required.
