Lake Thetis boardwalk, W.A

Designed and constructed by the Department of Environment and Conservation, Western Australia this walkway is an excellent example of how Standard 38x38 grid EnviroGrate 38x38 and EnviroCT cover top grating can be integrated to form sweeping, aesthetically pleasing curves in an artistic   design that complements the natural surrounds of the lake. The cover top grating was cut with slight angles to provide clean lines while promoting the turns in the deck. Our EnviroTread Custom design landing panels were used at access points. The dark grey blends calmly with the terrain and does not detract from the view but somehow enhances it, inviting you to explore the distant surrounds. This is an excellent blend of nature and contemporary products and the rainbow is a fitting compliment from Mother Nature!

CASE STUDY: CENTRAL COAST NSW

Envirowalk has been supplying our FRP EnviroGrate EnviroTreads for numerous projects throughout the Central Coast of NSW coast ever since 2009. The Photos at right show the Davistown shared walkway 3 metres wide x 550 metres long  - just one of several major projects where Central Coast Council (Previously Gosford City Council) successfully used Envirowalk Mini-Mesh panels and our EnviroTread stairs and other EnviroTread Safety products.

CASE STUDY [1]: Photo 1: A bridge near the Vincentia boat ramp built by Wardrope & Carroll using H30 (30mm thick) Envirowalk Sand Yellow Mini-Mesh Premium grade type I (Iso) resin with grit anti-slip surface. More than 10 years after install and the Mini-Mesh still looks great and retains the P5 anti-slip rating.

CASE STUDY [2]: Photos 2 & 3: The Vincentia Elevated walkway where the initial bulk of the FRP products were supplied by a different Australian supplier: This structure is an excellent example of why Buyers should take care with from whom they source their materials: The problems encountered were: [a] The initial supplier ignored original specifications for the structural items to be coated with polyurethane or similar protective coating. This has resulted in [i] early deterioration of the structural members where small spiral type cracks have appeared along the corners of the SHS (refer photos 4 & 5). [ii] Several sections have been eroded by the elements to the degree where the glass fibres beneath the resin are now exposed (Refer photo 6) [iii] unwanted fading (This can be noted especially in photo 2 where the correctly coated supports supplied in the latter stages by Envirowalk are significantly darker than the original - These photos were taken some 3 years after construction.)  Photo 7 reveals delamination blisters on some of the structural channel initially supplied by the original supplier. Photos 8 & 9 indicate low quality production methods where the surface veil has been distorted during the molding process and even folded back on itself. The project manager was so frustrated by the low quality product and poor service from the original supplier that he contacted Envirowalk and ordered another 12 panels of the Sand Yellow Mini-Mesh, 495 lineal metres of the Structural Channel and 30 metres of the SHS - all of which were supplied with the specified protective PU coating and all of which have remained in pristine condition with photos taken more than 5 years after install. The photos clearly show the difference.

CASE STUDY [3]: Photos 10, 11 &12 Below: A 410 metre elevated boardwalk in Lake Conjola NSW: All structural members, H30 Sand Yellow Mini-Mesh and Envirowalk H40 Mini-Mesh EnviroTreads supplied by Envirowalk as per the full specifications with protective PU coating on all structural and handrail items. All Mini-Mesh and EnviroTreads manufactured only with pure, unblended, premium grade Type I (Iso) resin with a fine grit P5 anti-slip surface. NB: Photos 10, 11 & 12 were taken some 5 years after install and there has been no deterioration of either the structural members or the decking.
