Project Background:
The Oaro Loop Retaining wall is located between KiwiRail’s main train line and State Highway 1 that runs along close to the coastal section of the highway, south of Kaikoura. A handrail was required to protect service personnel attending to one of KiwiRail’s structures at the site.
Products/configurations used on project:
Tuffrail® TR20 in 316 Marine grade Stainless Steel.
Why was Moddex product selected?
Being situated in a coastal environment, the Oaro Loop Retaining Wall required a handrail with the ability to handle extreme corrosive conditions. Moddex’s modular stainless-steel handrail system for industrial applications is unique being the only one of its kind in the world, making it the perfect solution. The 316 Marine Grade Stainless steel Tuffrail® copes with such demanding, corrosive conditions better than any other handrail on the market.
Our modular system also meant quicker installation times. Our product was delivered to site pre-assembled and flat packed on the 3rd of September, and installation was completed by midday the following day.
