Marine Projects

Pedestrian Bridges, Concrete Boardwalks, Walkways, and More

Marine walkways naturally present a few distinct challenges that organizations and municipalities should address at all costs.

First, they’re often a clean “slip and fall” hazard given their unique construction and their constant proximity to water. Second, that water also causes a great deal of wear-and-tear that often extends beyond the need for “routine maintenance” – meaning that your material selection during the initial construction process of a project is of the utmost importance.

That’s why TerraTread is proud to offer pedestrian bridges, concrete boardwalks, walkways, and other solutions that are all designed with marine environments in mind. Gone are the days when you can get away with a “straightforward” wooden pedestrian bridge. Rarely is wood the best material for any application, but it certainly isn’t for this one.

Instead, stop worrying about the weather, water, or salt-related issues. Don’t force people to contend with slippery and otherwise dangerous pedestrian bridges that haven’t been properly treated. Our pedestrian bridges and other solutions are designed to be easy to walk on, easy to clean, and more – all with minimal effort on your part required.

The Benefits of Concrete Pedestrian Bridges and Boardwalks for Marine Environments

All told, switching to concrete for your pedestrian bridges, boardwalks, walkways, and similar solutions brings with it a number of distinct advantages, all at the exact same time. These include ones like the following:

Superior Slip Resistance

Whenever you’re working near water, it’s always key to make sure that the surface is as slip resistance as possible. That’s why TerraTread has always made it a priority to help clients upgrade their pedestrian bridges, boardwalks, and other surfaces for just this type of situation.

Our concrete solutions at TerraTread are perfect for marine areas like:

Harbors
Beaches
Water treatment plants
Marinas
Anywhere else near water

Pedestrian bridges and other concrete areas can be installed with slip-resistant textures, allowing you to rest easy knowing that people have the safest place possible to walk through.

Exceptionally Low Maintenance

Especially when it is exposed to constant water, wood deteriorates and break down. It does this a lot faster than people think, too. With TerraTread pedestrian bridges and other concrete surfaces, we eliminate the need to replace boards that have become warped through wind and sun exposure.

Our solutions are built to stand the test of time, often lasting for 50 to 75 years after the initial installation.

Unbeatable Durability

Our solutions are built to stand the test of time, often lasting for 50 to 75 years after the initial installation. This makes something like concrete pedestrian bridges an excellent investment in every sense of the term. Not only is it safer for people, but it also reduces the costs associated with dedicated maintenance. That money can then get funneled back into other areas of the business where it can make the biggest impact.

Unparalleled Weather and Salt Resistance

TerraTread concrete pedestrian bridges, walkways, ramps, and other solutions are resistant to not only inclement weather but water and saltwater as well. They can also be used to install non-skid ramps. This makes them the perfect way to boost accessibility to marine environments like harbors and beaches.

Effortless Cleaning

Finally, our TerraTread solutions are easy-to-clean – making them a great match for even the murkiest of areas. Instead of spending time worrying that water, dirt, and weather will degrade your wooden pedestrian bridges or boardwalks, you can turn your attention to those matters that are more important while concrete can be easily cleaned back to its original condition.
