Pioneer River Boardwalk

Pioneer River Boardwalk - NatureTREAD™

Mackay, Queensland – The Pioneer River, known for its pristine ‘blue water’, meanders through the scenic Pioneer Valley, from the Clarke Connors Ranges to the Pacific Ocean at Mackay. Recently, a shared pathway was constructed as part of the Queensland Government’s Cycle Network Local Government Grant programs. Stretching over a kilometre, this pathway, located near Heaths Road, connects seamlessly with the Mackay Gooseponds Trail, enhancing connectivity and offering health and recreation opportunities for cyclists and pedestrians alike.

Treadwell was engaged to supply the FRP grating, structural profiles and balustrades for this boardwalk.

Project Challenges

  • UV deterioration needed to be taken into consideration. Structural integrity had to withstand this exposed outdoor application.
  • Corrosion resistance was a key concern.
  • Grating had to have a robust anti-slip surface for user safety.
