In this case study, we showcase a recently completed DDA Stainless Steel Handrail Package at Whiz Kidz Early Learning Centre in Dandenong.
Featuring a DDA-compliant double rail system for young children, the handrails were pre-manufactured in our workshop to ensure efficiency, as a result no on-site welding or polishing was required.
With 15 years of experience, we’re committed to delivering high-quality, compliant solutions’ week in and week out.

G’day guys, it’s Luke here at Mechcon Welding Fabrication.
We’re just going to have a quick look at one of our videos again. This is a recently completed Stainless Steel package out at Dandenong at a childcare centre.
It’s a typical DDA handrail system for the younger children in the stairs with the double rail and that lower rail is at a set height somewhere between 600 and 750mm. You’ll only see this at the junior primary schools, kindergartens, childcare centres.
It’s not normally seen on any other public building. And then you’ve got the taller rail or the higher rail at a normal height of around 900mm which you’ll see going up the stair in the video. The material used on this again is a very typical product we use often, 38mm satin finish stainless steel tube material.
The stair handrail was all pre-manufactured in the workshop. There was no site welding. This is a sleeve system, so on site no welding, no polishing. It’s more of an efficient way to do the staircases rather than on site welding and polishing.
The ramp you’ll see also in the video, it’s got a bit of on site welding but again 80% of that has been completed in the workshop. We do a lot of these ramps, we do a lot of these stairs. Our compliance is something we over the last 15 years, we’ve become very efficient following and executing and I think this is another typical example of what we’re doing week in week out now.
