DM MARINE
Island Point Rd
DM Composites was selected to supply and install DM BEAM & DM GRATE as part of the Island Point Road Jetty repairs in St Georges Basin, NSW. The project focused on restoring the jetty’s structural integrity, ensuring long-term durability, and improving safety for recreational and commercial users.
LOCATION
The Island Point Road Jetty is in St Georges Basin, Shoalhaven, NSW, a well-known waterway
that serves as a hub for recreational boating, fishing, and tourism. The jetty provides essential
access for residents, visitors, and watercraft users, playing a key role in the region’s maritime
infrastructure.
OUTCOME
The Island Point Road Jetty repair has delivered a lasting improvement to this key waterfront access point, enhancing both its durability and usability. The installation of DM BEAM & DM GRATE has provided a low-maintenance, corrosion-resistant solution that eliminates the issues associated with traditional timber or steel structures. The jetty is now better equipped to handle constant exposure to saltwater, heavy foot traffic, and the demands of a marine environment.
CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
The Island Point Road Jetty repair required materials that could handle constant exposure to saltwater, heavy foot traffic, and the harsh coastal environment. Traditional options like timber and steel would have required frequent maintenance due to corrosion and wear, making them less practical for a long-term solution. With DM BEAM & DM GRATE, these concerns were eliminated from the start. The pultruded FRP profiles used in this project offer superior strength and durability without the risk of peeling, rusting, or warping. Their lightweight design also made installation efficient, reducing downtime while ensuring a secure, long-lasting fit. No additional modifications were needed to integrate the FRP components, allowing for a seamless upgrade that enhances safety, reduces maintenance, and extends the jetty’s lifespan. The result is a durable, low-maintenance structure built to withstand the elements without compromise.
