Boardwalk & Footbridge
SSP provides helical pile foundations and custom beam connection components for boardwalks, footbridges, pedestrian walkways, parks, wetlands and restricted-access sites.
Boardwalk & Footbridge Foundations
SSP manufactures screw pile foundation systems for boardwalks, footbridges and pedestrian walkways, providing low-disturbance foundation solutions for wetlands, coastal areas, parks and other environmentally sensitive sites.
Why Boardwalk & 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, soft soils and environmentally sensitive sites require minimal ground disturbance.
Narrow trails, waterfronts and remote locations may restrict conventional construction equipment.
Screw pile foundations can reduce earthworks and concrete requirements.
Coastal, wetland and waterfront environments require appropriate corrosion protection.
Custom pile heads and brackets can connect to timber, steel or composite structures.

Manufacturing & Engineering Support SSP supports project-specific manufacturing and technical evaluation.
How to Select the Right Boardwalk Foundation
| Selection Factor | What to Consider |
|---|---|
| Structural Loads | Dead load, live load, lateral loads and uplift |
| Soil Conditions | Soft soil, peat, clay, sand and suitable bearing layers |
| Soil and water condition | Wetland, soft soil, clay, sand, high groundwater or flood-prone area |
| Water Conditions | Groundwater level, wetland conditions, tidal or seasonal variation |
| Installation Depth | Required embedment and suitable bearing soil |
| Corrosion Environment | Freshwater, coastal exposure and soil corrosivity |
| Site Access | Equipment size, access routes and working space |
| Connection Design | Timber beams, steel frames or custom brackets |
