Henley Beach Divers Access Staircase
Henley Beach Divers Access Staircase - NatureTREAD™
Henley Beach has so much to offer visitors and locals alike. A long stretch of fine beaches draws swimmers, paddleboarders and walkers. The jetty is a pretty popular fishing spot too.
Treadwell Group was tasked to assist with the supplying a fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) staircase system and anti-slip grating solution for the new jetty being constructed.
The ideal staircase system has to be equipped to deal with the harsh environmental forces, withstand the corrosion and humidity as well as be easy to install while leaving minimal impact on the environment.
Project Challenges
- Protection of existing landscape.
- Coastal corrosive environment.
- Difficulty in setting up and laying of structure as it was highly dependent on weather and terrain.
- General construction access in a high traffic public environment.

NatureTREAD™
- As part of the exclusive NatureTREAD™ range, high performance GratEX® FRP grating and StairSAFE® FRP Stair Nosing were specified in lining the structure and providing a much more sustainable solution over traditional materials.
- To make the structure aesthetically appealing, the standard colours of the system can be made to match the design team’s requirements.
- FRP is simply fabricated and modified on site. This means there is no need for any hot works permit.
- Being lightweight and easy to install, FRP is very manageable during construction.
- Given the nature of FRP, any system utilising it is virtually maintenance free, thus keeping maintenance costs as low as possible.
