We’ve all read and heard about the outstanding value the Moddex range of handrail, balustrade and guardrail safety access systems delivers to a multitude of industries – health, education, warehouses, sports and entertainment centres as well as public access areas. Now Moddex has taken the initiative, and has been working with the Revit® team at Autodesk, to make all its railing and balustrade configurations available in 3D. The Moddex range of easily installed, modular handrail, balustrade and guardrail systems are now available as 3D Revit families – the drawing program used by architect firms to do all their drawings and modelled in 3D. Revit software is specifically built for Building Information Modelling (BIM), helping construction professionals design with higher-quality results. All Moddex balustrade and railing configurations are now modelled in this program and are readily available for download from the Revit online library to architects, designers and structural engineers to use in their projects. This move by Moddex is saving these professionals a great deal of design time as well as ensuring that project design incorporates greater insight. Moddex continues to innovate and introduce new pre-engineered, proprietary balustrade and handrailing designs that meet all industry and structural compliance requirements. With no ‘hot works’ permits required and no on-site fabrication or welding, safety hazards are eliminated and valuable installation time is saved. Moddex handrails, balustrades and guardrails are specified, sold and installed by accredited installers Australia wide.Source: Balustrade and Handrailing Designs

Conectabal ™ galvanized balustrade systems are the ultimate in quality and durability when it comes to choosing a rail system for a primary school. As schools are renovated across Australia, boards and councils would be well advised to carefully consider Moddex handrails and balustrades to ensure student safety. The Conectabal ™ system has been specifically designed to adhere to the most stringent BCA standards regarding primary schools. The Conectabal ™ CB50 includes two offset handrails so as to comply with AS 1428 as well as BCA requirements for primary schools. This means that one handrail is fixed at a height of no less than 865mm, and the other runs at between 665mm and 750mm. The system comes in a variety of finishes and is fully galvanized. Unique design properties allow for it to be deployed in an unlimited number of configurations, and its stainless steel, anti-vibration locking screws ensure security and safety. In addition to the Conectabal ™ system, Moddex also manufactures a handrail system for the disabled. This system, called Assistrail ™, is AS 1428.1-2009 compliant and is also well suited for use in primary. Its design and cost make it an ideal system with which to bring a school up to the latest Australian standards. Assistrail ™ handrails can be deployed on ramps, stairs, or any other such place where a handrail for persons with disabilities is needed. It too can be installed in an unlimited number of configurations, making addition to older buildings as simple as possible. With full ISO 9001:2008 accreditation, Moddex has demonstrated its commitment to the quality and durability of its products. Facilities managers can rest assured that handrails and guardrails will stand the test of time and wear, regardless of the environment.Source: Galvanized Balustrade Systems

The significance of supplying the robust Moddex Tuffrail handrails and guardrails is the short lead time given to the Moddex West Australian distributor. One 500 metre order required a 2.5 hour turnaround with a hotshot truck arriving to transport the handrails 16 hours to the Pilbara mine site. Moddex, due to its modular design, kit form and off-the-shelf availability, is one of the few manufacturers to deliver handrails, balustrades and guardrails to anywhere in Australia both cost effectively and at very short notice. All Tuffrail handrails have been installed by FMG’s site contractors. This is simplified due to the fact that no onsite welding or hot works are needed and no specialist skills for installation are required. Independently load tested to AS 1657, Moddex handrails offer reduced risk of corrosion, as the galvanised surface is not burnt off by welding. Moddex safety handrails design and configurations have tough environments, such as mine sites, in mind ensuring that these safety barriers offer proven protection from ‘no go’ zones. Due to the innovative design, all of Moddex’s distributors are able to hold stock of different handrail lengths and associated fittings, to meet all configurations needs whether in stairways, sloped or straight areas. This and the ease of installation, is making Moddex the supplier of choice for galvanised handrails in mining sites. All orders can be processed and turned around in a very short space of time. Moddex will continue to supply the Kanji mining camp with more of its Tuffrail industrial rated handrails and guardrails as the camp continues to grow and the orders keep coming in!To learn more about supply and installation of Australian Compliant disability handrails, guardrails and balustrades, please visit: http://www.moddex.com.au/news/moddex-offers-the-fastest-turnaround-in-handrail-supplies-for-australia-tough-mining-sites.html

When it comes to Australian construction, balustrading is a very important aspect. Balustrading, which is essentially providing modular handrails and barrier solutions to many industries in and around Australia, is important for safety, security and peace of mind. Now, Moddex Systems finds itself as one of the leading providers of balustrading solutions to many Australian industries. The industries where balustrading is always seen in high demand include construction, mining, education, civil projects, metal fabrication and engineering projects, transport, maintenance and public utility projects. Before Moddex Systems became the balustrading supplier for many of these industries, many Australian project managers were forced to import balustrading materials from other countries. This often left managers dealing with substandard work or materials that weren't always compatible with other materials used on the job site. Moddex Systems ensures Australian project managers that their balustrading materials, hand rails and other modular systems are always of the best quality and that they are backed by top-notch customer support. This has allowed Moddex Systems to become the leading provider of balustrading materials to industries all over the Australian continent.
