The lookout structures required pedestrian surfaces capable of performing in exposed coastal conditions while supporting safe public access within environmentally sensitive locations. Moisture, salt-laden air, UV exposure and changing weather made durability and reduced maintenance key considerations.

Harsh coastal exposure

 Corrosion-resistant FRP was selected to withstand moisture and salt-laden coastal conditions without relying on conventional protective coatings.

Wet pedestrian surfaces

 DMGRATE™ grating provides a gritted walking surface with enhanced slip resistance for outdoor areas regularly exposed to rain and moisture.

Sensitive coastal environment

 Lightweight FRP components simplified handling and installation at constrained and environmentally sensitive lookout locations.

Long-term maintenance: FRP’s inherent corrosion resistance reduces the ongoing coating and maintenance requirements associated with conventional metallic materials.

Coordinated access system

 FRP angles and stair nosings were supplied alongside DMGRATE™ to provide an integrated product solution across the three lookout structures.
