NatureTREAD™
- As part of the exclusive NatureTREAD™ range, high performance GratEX® FRP Grating was specified in building the structure and providing a sustainable solution over traditional materials.
- As FRP is lightweight and easy to install, heavy machinery is not required, therefore protecting the existing sand dunes.
- FRP is corrosion resistant and will withstand the corrosive coastal environment. It is virtually maintenance free, thus keeping maintenance costs as low as possible.
- 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.
