GASP Boardwalk

Spectran Group was engaged by Glenorchy City Council to construct the GASP Boardwalk across Montrose Bay, creating a key section of the Glenorchy to Austins Ferry Shared Path (GASP). The project involved the construction of approximately 500 metres of over-water boardwalk together with connecting land-based pathways, delivering an iconic recreational asset for the local community.

Scope of Works

• Construction of approximately 500 metres of pile-supported boardwalk across Montrose Bay.
• Installation of deep foundation piles, with some driven up to 36 metres to achieve required ground bearing capacity.
• Design and installation of pile headers to accommodate the curved structural steel bearers.
• Installation of custom-fabricated, painted steel framing with treated pine decking.
• Construction and installation of bespoke curved timber balustrades and handrails to complement the boardwalk alignment.
• Construction of land-based pathway sections using coloured concrete finishes to seamlessly integrate with the timber boardwalk.
• Construction of a public barbecue shelter featuring reinforced concrete construction and natural timber finishes.

The GASP Boardwalk showcases Spectran Group’s expertise in delivering complex marine infrastructure, combining specialist piling, structural steel, and timber construction to create a landmark public asset that enhances community connectivity and recreational access.
