TransLink’s $444m Northern Busway project saw new stations connect Brisbane’s northern suburbs to Brisbane City, shopping centres and workplaces.

The latest in 3D printing technology was used to create full-scale prototypes for visualisation. A key challenge for Street Furniture Australia was to modify the seats to allow for signage, as well as produce a high quantity of seats in a short timeframe. SFA approached the assembly process with lean manufacturing methods, to minimise waste at our Regents Park factory. The new Sydney Trains seats offer increased comfort and ergonomic armrests to make it easier for those who are less mobile to get …
