Railyway Stations
Railyway stations are great as mixed-use hubs for people to move, work, shop and meet. Accordingly, they are fast-changing in design. Whether it’s new transport modes or digital lifestyles, changing retail patterns, what should a railway station look like in the future.
Whether it’s for city planners, or for designers and developers the challenge is to maximise the value of investment whilst future planning. Shifts in how commuters’ shop, work and live means future stations have to go beyond their traditional transport function.
That’s why modular structures are re-imagining the railway station space.
Purpose of modular railway stations
Modular structures are an affordable way of replacing outdated railway station facilities. Additionally, they help reduce the cost of building a new railway station. A modular solution or commercial projects is ideal where site disruption is kept to a minimum.
Modular construction see railway project times reduced by up to 50%, because the structure components are manufactured offsite. When materials are delivered, construction workers immediately build with 100% completed parts.
Accordingly, the completed parts are made of hard-pressed aluminium beams. They have clear span widths up to 30 metres. And in unlimited lengths in 5 metre bays. Eave heights to 14 metres. Australian Modular Structures are designed by leading German and Australian engineers to maintain the highest ISO compliant standards in the industry.
Fast modular design
Beyond the materials themselves, modular construction reduces construction waste and support reuse and repurposing. The materials are designed for disassembly and supports the reuse of building materials at the end of the station’s life.
Use modules for different functions, such as baggage check-in, maintenance facilities or car parks. Their flexible configurations adapt well to different transporting applications, such as airports, shipping ports and many other large scale commercial developments.
Large scale projects
Australian Modular Structures are serious when it comes to large scale infrastructure. We work with major contractors on the structural design of railway stations, offsite fabrication, module delivery, and onsite installation of the train station.
Due to the flexible nature of modular structures, they are designed to deliver the station platforms, buildings, access, and car parking on time and within budget.
