Peninsula link project guarded on time
Wednesday, 11 September, 2013
Under a tight install deadline, the Peninsula Link project in Victoria required balustrade and guardrail with a wide range of configurations for sloping and curved pathways and many sections of unlaid concreting. The Moddex balustrade and guardrail system, with its modular, no-weld capabilities, making it easy to install, was the answer.
Traditional welded systems would have required the concreting to be completed before fabrication could commence. However, Moddex could be built on site while the paths were being constructed. Additionally, with no on-site welding required, safety risks (such as toxic fumes) were reduced and there was no necessity for hot-works permits, which is another factor that can affect the length of time required for installation.
Supply of componentry, also a major time consideration, was easily arranged with stock items available for immediate delivery.
Another benefit with the Moddex range of components was that the installer was able to use non-skilled labourers to assist with the build. This was an invaluable advantage which worked towards reducing the installation process and ensuring that the project was completed by the deadline.
