From the roar of Yankee Stadium to the rush of Penn Station, millions of footsteps are made safer every year thanks to a trusted name in metal casting: Safe-T-Metal, division of Meloon Foundries.

When we talk about safety in public spaces, especially high-traffic environments like major transit hubs and stadiums, we often think about security protocols, lighting, and crowd control. But sometimes, safety starts with something much simpler—your footing.

That’s where Safe-T-Metal comes in.

Safety You Can Stand On—Literally

Safe-T-Metal abrasive castings are designed with a single purpose in mind: to prevent slips and falls in the places where it matters most. And we’re proud to say that our work is part of the foundation—literally—at two of New York City’s most iconic locations: Yankee Stadium and Penn Station.

Whether its sports fans filing in for a game or commuters rushing to catch their train, these locations experience some of the highest pedestrian traffic in the country. In these environments, reliability, durability, and safety aren’t optional—they’re critical.

Built for Impact, Engineered for Safety

Our abrasive cast aluminum treads, stair components, and landing platforms are engineered to withstand decades of heavy use, extreme weather, and daily wear-and-tear. But what truly sets our products apart is the integral abrasive surface—not an afterthought or coating, but a permanent, cast-in feature that offers long-term slip resistance you can count on.

Why Architects and Engineers Specify Safe-T-Metal Products:

• Durable Aluminum and Bronze Castings – Proven strength in harsh, high-use environments
• Integral Abrasive Surface – Built into the casting for lifelong slip protection
• Custom-Fit Design – Precision cast to meet the specific requirements of each project
• Made in the USA – All materials and castings produced at Meloon Foundries in Upstate New York

We’ve worked together with project engineers, architects, and general contractors to design safety solutions that meet complex structural needs—without compromising on aesthetics or reliability.

From Field to Platform: The Meloon Legacy

As part of Meloon Foundries, Safe-T-Metal benefits from over 85 years of American manufacturing expertise. Our legacy is built on delivering reliable, high-performance metal solutions to infrastructure, industrial, and architectural projects throughout the country.

But our work in New York City holds special meaning.

Being chosen to contribute to public safety at places like Yankee Stadium and Penn Station is more than a milestone—it’s a testament to the trust that engineers and city planners place in our products. It’s also a reflection of our commitment to creating components that don’t just meet code—they exceed expectations.

Looking Ahead: Safety as a Standard, Not a Feature

Slip resistance and structural integrity may not always make headlines, but they are at the core of responsible design. As cities grow, infrastructures age, and pedestrian traffic intensifies, we believe safety must remain at the forefront of every architectural and engineering decision.

That’s why we continue to innovate and refine our abrasive casting products—to keep people safe wherever they go.
