Project Date: December 2021 – May 2022
Objective: Supply FRP Grating, structural profiles and hardware for boardwalk and jetties on both East Wallaby and Beacon Islands.
Challenges:
- Environment – Remote harsh marine (open ocean) subject to extreme weather.
- Ensuring we are environmentally friendly.
- To supply all product as ordered to be transported 60kms offshore in one delivery, minimising costs of transport and delays.
Solution We Created:
We collaborated with a broad variety of consultants and business partners to provide an adherent final product; meeting the needs for fast and considerate logistics, environmental safety and the safety of all parties involved in the construction and movement of our product.
As our FRP grating is non-corrosive in marine environments, we will see this project survive a longevity far more competitive to any other alternative option for this build. Not only this, our use of Isophthalic Resin with Non-Slip Gritted Surface will ensure an ongoing reduced risk for user safety; in terms of slips and falls.
This project was completed in less than 6 months from the initial consultation, design, engineering, fabrication, transport and delivery – all the way through.
