Moddex Handrails at Sydney Central Station

Handrails at Sydney Central Station – Project Background

In mid-2018 Laing O’Rourke approached Moddex to deliver handrails and balustrades solution to meet stringent crowd-loading demands on two of the platform stairways at Sydney Central Station. The Moddex team provided its design and engineering expertise to produce a suitable design.

Challenging project installation timelines in a New Year’s public transport space

Timing was crucial on this project. Moddex was requested to install the handrails for this public transport project in a narrow window over the peak New Year period. By using 3D-modelling, we collaborated closely with our client from the outset to design, manufacture and deliver a solution. To achieve the loading requirements, while eliminating the need for on-site welding and reducing install lead times.

Meeting compliance

Our expert design team at Moddex have the capabilities and experience to work with the most challenging of handrail and balustrade design briefs – in fact, we thrive on them. Additionally, thanks to the skills in engineering complexity of our in-house team, we worked with our client to deliver a solution that readily achieved the AS/NZS1170 C5 load-ratings required in this location.

At Moddex, we go the extra mile to ensure your handrail and balustrade system design meets every project’s unique requirements. Thus, creating turn-key solutions that guarantee your project solution is 100% compliant to relevant Australian and New Zealand industry standards.

Sydney Central Station Time and Cost Savings from Moddex

Our no-weld modular solution also eliminated the need for costly, disruptive hot works permits, on-site cutting and welding. Which also meant less noise disturbance and no toxic welding fumes in the public space. And therefore, far less disruption to rail passengers and staff.

A modular system means components are quick and easy to assemble onsite, significantly reducing installation lead times.
