Fencing & Guardrails
SSP provides helical pile foundations and custom beam connection components for boardwalks, footbridges, pedestrian walkways, parks, wetlands and restricted-access sites.
Boardwalk, Footbridge & Pedestrian Walkway Foundation Solutions
Boardwalks, footbridges and pedestrian walkways are often built in parks, wetlands, riverside areas, scenic sites and other locations where heavy excavation is difficult or undesirable. These projects need a foundation system that provides stable support while reducing disturbance to the surrounding environment.
SSP provides round shaft helical piles, custom saddle brackets and beam connection components for elevated walkways, timber boardwalks, pedestrian bridges and outdoor platform structures.
Why Boardwalk and Footbridge Projects Need Low-Disturbance Foundations
Traditional concrete foundations can be difficult to build in wet, soft or restricted-access areas. Helical piles can be installed with relatively compact equipment, helping reduce excavation and site damage.
Wetlands, parks and scenic areas often require minimal environmental disturbance.
Soft soil and near-water locations may require deeper foundation support.
Pedestrian structures must resist settlement, movement and repeated walking loads.
Restricted access can limit the use of large construction equipment.
Outdoor structures require durable corrosion-resistant foundation components.
