Project Overview

The Wangaratta Inland Rail project included upgrades to the station and the Green Street Bridge, delivering safer, more accessible connections for the community. Key improvements featured a new pedestrian underpass with lifts, ramps, and stairs, significantly enhancing platform access while respecting the site’s heritage.

Challenges

The client initially requested a costly three coat paint system for the handrails, so that they would be illuminated at night.

Moddex Solution

Moddex proposed a durable powdercoat alternative that met the required colour and performance standards, achieving the desired aesthetic and functionality while significantly reducing costs. Our pre-engineered handrail systems were quick and easy to install, providing a seamless fit with the project’s tight timelines and site constraints.

We use your handrails and what we love about it is that it is an off the shelf product that you can implement straight in without doing any custom work.
