The modular stainless steel boardwalk system is a fully civil engineered solution offering design flexibility and reliability. Stainless steel components are engineering certified for trouble free installation, ensuring a long, durable and maintenance-free design life compared to timber or other material types.
ENCAT can provide Australian design and manufacturing of custom made boardwalk systems that can include viewing platforms and seating areas. They are the perfect solution for public spaces like national parks, conservation areas, clifftop walks, beaches or look outs.
We have made different types of boardwalks for Australian national parks, beaches, roads and other locations for local councils, civil contractors, builders and other third parties.
Our boardwalk system is designed to be modular so that it can be fitted to different types of terrain, hard to access locations and different widths or lengths. It means you can even extend the boardwalk at later stages which can help with budget management.
A cost-effective, modular walkway system suitable for recreational walkways, cycleways and foot bridges. It is ideal for all environments from rainforests, arid, alpine to sea salt coastal terrain, including deserts, riverbanks, wetlands, mangroves, beaches and caves. The ultimate in trouble free installation and life. The system is quick to install, fully adjustable and can be extended or relocated at any time.
Our boardwalk system can combine our manufacturing skills across multiple product types including; handrails, balustrades, seating, gates, fencing and signage.
- Latest 3D modelling tools, designed in Australia
- Manufactured locally to meet any specific requirement
- Minimal maintenance required
- We can manage logistics like air lifting items into position, delivery and construction or provide supply only.
By using a single contractor to design and manufacture a complete solution you can make sure that every element is designed in harmony to work well together.
It also means you get a consistent, high quality, production standard to ensure the finished boardwalk system lasts for many years. This saves on maintenance and replacement costs long term.
ENCAT has been supplying national parks, building contractors, councils, shopping centres and civil construction companies since 1989. Our products are designed and manufactured to meet Australian standards and safety requirements.

ENCAT designed, engineered & installed our steel modular boardwalk system in Minnamurra Rainforest. Replacing the old timber path with our tough steel design will mean a 200+ life span & great safety for visitors.
Boardwalk systems that reduce maintenance costs
ENCAT is an Australian manufacturer of civil use products, like boardwalks and viewing platforms that are used in public spaces. Our engineering design team has a laser like focus on creating solutions that are safe for the public, but also reduce or eliminate the need for maintenance costs.
We specifically chose stainless steel as the material to be used in our boardwalks because of the durable nature of this metal, knowing that construction could last for hundreds of years. Best of all, maintenance would simply be perhaps an annual clean.
Our modular design philosophy also makes it very simple to integrate with viewing platforms, lookouts, seating or other safety elements like stairs, balustrading, gates or even bollards.
Everything we produce is compliant with Australian laws and requirements.
