Martin Place Metro Station — Brass Handrail Installation

Delivering Architectural Metalwork with Precision & Craftsmanship

For the Martin Place Metro Station upgrade, Emerald Fabrication partnered with Lendlease to fabricate, install, and finish a series of high-quality brass handrails throughout the station precinct.
This project demanded exceptional attention to detail, durability in a high-traffic public environment, and a refined architectural finish that aligned with the premium standards of a flagship Sydney transport hub.

Our team produced and installed the handrails with meticulous accuracy, ensuring consistent curvature, seamless joints, and a uniform sheen across every section. Additional on-site polishing was completed to minimise brass discolouration and preserve a clean, long-lasting appearance.
