Improved safety and style

Making complex forms simple

Bell Station got a facelift as part of the major level crossing removal project, which elevated rail infrastructure to improve safety, connectivity and urban amenity. This particular Mernda Line station got a new feature façade with integrated glazing for decorative and illuminating windows worthy of awards.

CMG Frames engineered custom lightweight steel frames to slot into place on site with the high level of precision necessary to deliver such striking architectural geometry while maintaining structural performance and efficiency.

Efficient solutions for time-sensitive infrastructure projects

Speed is key when redeveloping a major artery for the heart of Melbourne. By manufacturing the modular lightweight steel components off-site and delivering them ready for installation, CMG Frames helped maintain a tight construction program necessary for minimal transport disruption.

The completed project forms part of an award-winning civic infrastructure development that has transformed the surrounding precinct. CMG Frames’ engineered lightweight steel framing solution demonstrates how early collaboration and modular façade systems can deliver architectural precision, efficient installation and reliable structural performance on complex public infrastructure projects.
