Resilient Floating Walkway Solution for SEQ Water Kilcoy

Superior designed and installed a floating walkway using the versatile and flexible Superior Modular Docking (SMD) system.

60 modules were used to create a 180m walkway from the shore to pontoon for regular access and maintenance, complete with Aluminium handrails, solar lights and security gate to prevent public access. Hose reels were fitted to provide hose-down coverage for the entire walkway and connected to the rising main. Warning buoys with signage were added for limiting access around the structure.

In addition, Superior designed and installed a new anchoring system for the existing pontoon and walkway using tethers to allow for the large rise and fall in lake levels during drought or flood.

This allows operation independently in 21m of water variation, a first for such a big tidal range (or flood in this case).
