Designing accessible movement through a site means getting a lot of details right at once. Ramp gradients, landing dimensions, handrail configuration, kerbrails and circulation widths all need to work together to create access routes that are safe, practical and compliant.

Our latest whitepaper, Designing for Accessible Movement: Specifying Compliant Ramps, Stairs and Platform Systems, brings the key requirements together in one practical guide, covering NCC, AS 1428.1, AS/NZS 1657 and the New Zealand regulatory framework, along with the specification decisions that can help make compliant access easier to resolve 👉 https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01k1PK0

Big access package and a first time Ezibilt™ installer? No problem!

On the Bathurst Hospital Redevelopment, Ezibilt™ was used to create the ramps, platforms and stairs around a temporary healthcare facility, including runs up to 7.5 metres long.

Much of the system was configured from standard, pre-engineered components, helping make a sizeable and varied layout simpler to assemble on site.

That’s modular access doing what it’s meant to do. One month on from the opening of the facility, it's still proving the perfect choice. See the project 👉 https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01k1Kl0

Here is it....... FlatBal™ has officially made its way to Aotearoa!

Our first major New Zealand project is now complete at Massey Redhills Primary School in Auckland, with FlatBal™ featuring across the school’s balconies and stairs.

It’s a great example of how a pre-engineered flat bar balustrade can complement the architecture without the need for a fully custom fabricated system.

And this is only the beginning, with more FlatBal™ projects already underway across New Zealand. Take a closer look at the project 👉 https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01jl-V0

SPOTTED! Moddex Bikesafe Barriers as part of the Watson Street Interchange Upgrade. Looking good!

🚶‍♀️ Great news, Wallan!

The Watson Street footpath has now re-opened, restoring the pedestrian connection between Wallan train station, Wallara Waters and Wallan town centre.

Whether you're walking to school, catching the train, heading to the shops or enjoying a stroll, you'll once again be able to walk along Watson Street using the upgraded shared path.

Thank you for your patience and support while we've delivered this important milestone. We're excited to reopen this connection and move one step closer to completing the Watson Street Interchange Upgrade.

Spotted on the Moddex drawing board this week: perforated panels! 👀

A run of perforated panel balustrades currently being detailed for an RMIT building upgrade. They’ll eventually make their way across the project’s stair flights as part of the Moddex balustrade and handrail package.

Stay tuned to see them installed in the coming months! In the meantime, learn more about our perforated panels 👉 https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01g8hp0

Sneak peek at a section of our supply on Inland Rail in Victoria! 👀

Our Projects team recently stopped by to check out the progress on Inland Rail, where our supplied CB40 balustrade systems are now in place across the new pedestrian ramps and stairs.

We’re loving the Corten Steel powder coat finish paired with the HDG handrails on this one.

And Broadford is just one of four locations we’re supplying across the Beveridge to Albury Tranche 2 works, alongside Tallarook, Euroa and Benalla.

Great to see everything taking shape!

Not all materials perform the same when exposed to water, chemicals and constant UV 🌊

That’s why metal handrail systems remain a reliable choice for water treatment plants and road and rail projects.

Designed to stand up to moisture, UV and strong virbation, metal handrails give project teams and asset owners the long-term durability and compliance they can rely on.

Learn why metal remains the preferred choice compared to FRP specifically 👉

FRP handrails may look good on paper, but UV, heat and moisture quickly break them down. Learn why metal systems outperform FRP in water and rail environments.
