Martin Place Temporary Walkway
Martin Place Temporary Walkway
Treadwell was contacted to assist with providing a product that could be used as a lightweight anti-slip solution as a walking surface on the temporary walkway gantry at Martin Place Sydney. The walkway gantry runs between Elizabeth St. and Castlereagh St. To date, it has been installed for over 12 months and has a daily pedestrian traffic volume exceeding 36,000 people.
Project Challenges
- The material was required to be lightweight and easily site adjustable.
- Needed to have an acceptable anti-slip surface that met the requirements of a P5 rating.
- It had to be non-corrosive and non-conductive.
