Having worked with CTS Bridges on many other successful schemes, FM Conway approached the company to carry out the design, manufacture and installation of a new hardwood boardwalk at Clapham Common Mount Pond in Lambeth, London.

CTS’ in-house engineers designed the boardwalk to a live load of 5kN/m2, equivalent to a crowd loading.

It is made from FSC ekki hardwood, runs to an overall length of 63m, and is 3m wide.

Hi-Grip Excel non-slip inserts in the deck provide a safe walking surface for the general public.

CTS’ installation team prepared the sub-frame for the deck laid onto a concrete strip footing provided by FM Conway. A hardwood kerb was fitted to the outer edge of the boardwalk.
