Devil’s Gullett
Devil’s Gullet, Tasmania – This landscape has been evolving for about 200 million years. Featuring dramatic views into a steep, narrow glacial gorge formed by vertical dolerite cliffs, you would not see a single sight of human existence, giving you the feeling of being the only person in the world. Boasting uninterrupted views of Tasmania’s World Heritage Area, it is easy to see Tasmania’s commitment to natural preservation.
Treadwell was engaged to supply the grating for this lookout point.

Treadwell Solution
- High performance GratEX® FRP Square Mesh grating was specified in building the structure as a preferred solution over traditional materials.
- Treadwell’s FRP products are constructed with corrosion resistant properties, UV Inhibitors as well as a fire-retardant formula, making it ideal for this outdoor application.
- GratEX® FRP Square Mesh grating is constructed with a robust anti-slip surface, providing optimal user safety.
- FRP is simply fabricated and modified on site. This means there is no need for any hot works permit.
- Being lightweight and easy to install, FRP is very manageable during construction.
- Given the nature of FRP, any system utilising it is virtually maintenance free, keeping maintenance costs to a minimum.
