Located along the coastline of South Curl Curl Beach in Sydney, New South Wales, the boardwalk provides a continuous accessible link between the Surf Life Saving Club, Fisherman’s Walk, the ocean pool, and Brian Green Lookout, improving public access while preserving the surrounding coastal landscape.

View Full Case StudyCliffside Access & Limited Working Area:
With the boardwalk constructed directly above the rock escarpment adjacent to the ocean pool, site access was restricted. Materials and machinery were carefully sequenced to prevent encroachment on the beach below or vegetation above. Lightweight FRP sections allowed for manual handling and smaller lifting equipment compared to steel alternatives.
Harsh Marine Conditions:
The coastal site experiences constant salt spray and high UV exposure. All FRP elements were designed with fully impregnated pigmentation and resin systems tested for coastal applications, ensuring zero corrosion and colour stability over decades.
Structural Integration:
DM Composites engineered precision transitions between the concrete approach slabs and the FRP superstructure, maintaining smooth accessibility and continuity in the boardwalk system.
