platform, Xrosswater can offer a solution.
Xrosswater’s product has been designed from 20 years experience in the mining industry. The product
is primarily produced from aluminum, HDPE and laminated material, with a simple to follow pictorial
assembly guide. The product maintains a buoyancy of up to 1000 kg per 3m section. On-site assembly
set-up and training is offered.
Walkway Deck
A 12mm thick laminated marine deck, overlaid with a highly resistant NON-SLIP abrasion resistance
surface (Taber Test EN 438-2). Grey in color and similarly used as non-static ship decks, pedestrian
bridges, scaffolding and truck beds demonstrating the products strength, quality & weather resistance.
Aluminium or FRP Structure
The components are produced from RECYCLED aluminum. There are many optional fittings offering
pipeline support, cables tray, width expansion to make platforms etc. We offer as an option a 100%
FRP, Stainless steel and HDPE version now for low PH dams.
Handrail structure (optional)
The handrails structure is a TUBE FRP in bright safety yellow with black stanchions An option is a
10mm stainless steel cable with stainless steel turnbuckles coated in a thick bright safety yellow PVC.
Pipe support bracket for 300mm diameter (optional)
Pipe support bracket are available that easily attach to the outside edge of the walkway at deck level
and can support a pipeline up to 300mm in diameter.
Pipe support outrigger for 500mm diameter (optional)
larger pipelines can be suspended from extended crossmembers, thus lowering the center of gravity by
allowing the pipe weight to be supported by the water the walkway floats in itself.
Assembly
Once assembled, each section is 3m x 1.5m. Assembly is very fast and simple. 4-6 fitters can
assemble up to 70 meters per day
Helical Anchors.(optional)
New corrosion
proof system in
2012 for ACID
