Spearheaded by Main Roads WA and project managed by leading civil construction company Georgiou Group, the $118 million ‘High Street and Stirling Highway Intersection Upgrade’ in Fremantle, Perth was successfully delivered in 2022.

The design and construction of handrails and balustrades is a crucial issue that may expose an architect, designer, specifier, builder or contractor to expensive litigation if poorly thought out, executed, and especially if failure occurs.

Ports of Auckland is New Zealand’s biggest import port, handing nearly 1 million containers a year. A new multi-purpose car handling facility has just been built on the wharf to store imported cars.

Historically dominated by steel, the handrail and balustrade industry has been experiencing a shift towards aluminium. With its impressive combination of strength, durability, and versatility, aluminium is rapidly becoming a preferred material for architects, engineers, and builders alike.

Handrails and balustrades, often seen as mere safety features, have evolved into significant architectural elements that offer both functional and aesthetic enhancement. In the dynamic world of architecture, the demand for innovative and functional design solutions is ever-growing.

The use of modular building products continues to gain significant traction as a preferred method of increasing efficiency on construction projects.

Designing and building a school is a monumental undertaking. Complying with the Ministry’s requirements, is of course, non-negotiable to ensure the school is safe and fit for purpose through all stages of the project.
