Boardwalks the Bridges to Nature
To the average recreational user of trails, boardwalks provide the means to access the surrounding landscape and maximise the natural experience. To the owner of the asset, these are pieces of infrastructure that need to be maintained for user safety, provide transit for light vehicles & pedestrians whilst adopting a comfortable amount of risk to provide the natural experience for users. The design engineer not only has to address these requests from the owner, but they also must provide; Elegant & non-intrusive geometry for a natural user experience; safe and compatible timber treatments for the user and environment and be constructible low maintenance durable structures.
