Adelaide Glenelg Wharf Project Case
Ten years ago, Machs supplied a complete FRP stair and platform system for Glenelg Wharf in Adelaide, Australia. As one of South Australia’s most popular tourist and leisure destinations, the area receives thousands of visitors every day, and even today, the products we provided are still in use.
Why Use FRP Materials for Jetties & Pontoons
Marine structures such as jetties and pontoons are constantly exposed to saltwater, UV radiation, and harsh weather conditions. Traditional materials like steel and timber can corrode, rot, or degrade quickly in these environments, leading to high maintenance costs and safety risks.
FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) offers a long-lasting, low-maintenance alternative. It is completely resistant to rust, rot, and marine growth, ensuring structural integrity over decades of service. FRP is also lightweight yet strong, making installation and handling easier without sacrificing load capacity. With anti-slip surfaces and excellent UV stability, FRP enhances safety for pedestrians while maintaining its appearance and performance in demanding coastal conditions.
