Stainless Steel Cable Railing for Light Rail Train Stations

This photograph shows the cable railing fabricated by our welders and fabricators at Astro Engineering and Manufacturing installed at a transit station. 

In 2011 we were awarded the contract to fabricate the stainless steel railing for the stations of the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit (CCLRT) system running between Minneapolis and St Paul.  For the past 2 years we’ve been field measuring, drafting, saw cutting, polishing, and welding thousands of feet of railing of which the last of it was recently installed.

Astro has been fabricating cable railings for years for both commercial and residential uses.  The posts and top rail can be made of a variety of metals.  Stainless steel, due to its corrosive resistance, is considered the top of the line product, requiring no coating for a great looking product for years and years.  Aluminum posts and rails are lower cost, but needs paint or anodizing to keep it looking in top shape. 

Astro Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc. is primarily sought-after for its stainless steel fabrication services. We are equipped with metal shears, CNC turret punch presses, CNC press brakes, and CNC laser cutting and machining. Astro is certified for its stainless steel TIG welding capabilities.
