Mount Panorama Boardwalk
Mount Panorama Boardwalk
Mount Panorama, New South Wales – Running along the top of the Mount Panorama circuit, this boardwalk links Griffins Bend to the Bathurst Light Car Club through a combination of ground level and elevated sections, including two viewing platforms. Designed with the view to improve pedestrian safety, this boardwalk was a joint project of the State Government and Bathurst Regional Council.
Treadwell was engaged to supply the grating for the boardwalk and viewing platforms.
Project Challenges
- Decking would be installed in elevated structures; it needed to be lightweight for easy installation.
- Selected material had to remain robust while in permanent exposure to the outdoor environment.
- The selected decking would be installed in tandem with other materials, timelines needed to be strictly adhered to.

Treadwell Products :
- EX-Series® GratEX® FRP Square Mesh Grating
Treadwell Solution
- GratEX® FRP grating is constructed as large single piece panels, and can be installed such that it forms a uniform space, without large gaps between panels, creating a seamless surface.
- GratEX® FRP Mini Mesh grating is constructed with UV stabilisers, fire retardant formula and anti-slip grit surface, making it the ideal product for this outdoor application.
- With ample FRP grating stockholdings, Treadwell was able to manage the timeline expectations for this project.
- 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.
