Customise
Although Moddex systems are designed as modular off-the-shelf solutions, every project is tailored to suit your exact site requirements.
Beyond standard configurations, our in-house design and engineering team can customise systems with alternative materials, bespoke infill panels, integrated lighting and alternative materials and finishes, while maintaining the efficiency and reliability of modular construction.
Find out more about our customisation options. Get in touch with our expert team, call us on 1800 663 339 (Australia) or 0800 663 339 (New Zealand) or download our product brochure. We’re here to help, whether you need a quote, technical advice or tender support.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSABOUT BIKESAFE®
Common questions about Bikesafe® cycleway barrier systems, including compliance, NCC/NZBC requirements and considerations for specifying modular barriers on bikeway and cycleways.
-
Is Bikesafe compliant with the Austroads Guide to Road Design?
Yes. Bikesafe is specifically engineered to align with the Austroads Guide to Road Design (Part 6A and 6B). It features a smooth, continuous deflection top rail to protect cyclists traveling at speed and prevent snagging, ensuring your cycleway meets strict Australian safety standards.
-
Is Bikesafe compliant with the NZTA Bridge Manual?
Yes. For New Zealand infrastructure projects, Bikesafe complies with the safety requirements outlined in the NZTA Bridge Manual (including section B6.4). To streamline the building consent process, Moddex provides Producer Statement (PS1) documents for the Bikesafe range, offering certified assurance to councils that the system meets all structural requirements.
-
Can Bikesafe be used for fall protection over culverts and steep batters?
Absolutely. The system is designed to provide continuous full or partial offset barrier protection across hazardous areas such as culverts, bridges, headwalls, and large vertical drops. This ensures both pedestrians and high-speed riders are safeguarded from dangerous falls.
-
Can Bikesafe accommodate curved bike paths and gradients?
Yes. The Bikesafe system features precision-engineered curved sections that flow naturally with the layout of cycleways and shared paths. Because it is modular, it can easily accommodate raked angles, gradients, and directional changes without the need for complex custom fabrication.
-
Does Bikesafe require on-site welding for installation?
No. Bikesafe is a 100% weld-free, modular system. This completely eliminates the need for hot-works permits or specialized welders on-site. Because there is no welding, the protective galvanized coating remains perfectly intact, maximizing corrosion resistance and structural integrity over time.
-
Can Bikesafe integrate with standard pedestrian handrails?
Yes. Bikesafe is designed to integrate seamlessly with other Moddex systems, including commercial balustrades (Conectabal) and disability handrails (Assistrail). This allows you to build a cohesive, aesthetically pleasing, and 100% compliant safety network across a site that caters to both cyclists and pedestrians.
-
What finish options are available for Bikesafe barriers?
Bikesafe barriers come standard with a heavy-duty hot-dipped galvanized (HDG) zinc finish for superior durability. If your project requires specific colors or enhanced environmental protection, Moddex offers standard and commercial-grade powder coating (PC SYS 1 & 2), as well as a 2-pack polyurethane wet spray system (PC SYS 3) for harsh industrial climates.
