Moddex was engaged by ID Fabrication to supply and install bikeway barriers and industrial handrails during the upgrade of old bridges in the Katarapko floodplain region.
Located in the Murray River Floodplain of South Australia, the project involved improving the management of water flows under an extensive ecological monitoring program to track the condition of vegetation, plants and animals. This data will be used to inform decisions on watering events in the future.
Moddex has a proven track record of meeting the infrastructure needs of local and regional areas across Australia through their quality handrail solutions. ID Fabrication, which was contracted by the head contractor Fulton Hogan on behalf of SA Water, tasked Moddex with supporting the upgrade of old bridges on vital tributaries running into the heart of the Murray River.
With the project located in a remote area, the Moddex team undertook detailed pre-planning to allow for additional lead time for supplies and freight travel to reach the sites. As one of the largest and most integral waterways flowing from the Great Dividing Range in NSW to the mouth of the Murray in Wellington SA, this project took on added significance and scale.
Moddex welcomed the responsibility to ensure the investment from SA Water was well executed, delivering on the goals to promote tourism and camping in the region.
The Moddex difference
Moddex has a track record of ensuring everything fits, on budget and on time. It’s why we were confidently engaged by our client ID Fabrication. Moddex has also previously worked alongside SA Water to deliver successful outcomes through the use of Moddex aluminium products. With only a minor number of variations to the overall scope, our configurations provided a fully compliant system required across each individual site.
Moddex handrails are uniquely engineered to combine and meet safety, compliance, environmental, maintenance, and aesthetic considerations. Our expert designers and technical advisors have the proven experience to deliver your preferred aesthetic while ensuring environmental factors are well addressed.
