PERMATRAK
The complete boardwalk system
WHAT IS PERMATRAK?
The PermaTrak® concrete boardwalk system was invented in 1996 in Australia by landscape architect Franek Savarton. Combining an innate sense of design, along with an understanding of engineering, Franek developed a complete system for the construction of boardwalks that is durable, design-flexible and eco-friendly. PermaTrak® enjoys immense popularity throughout Australia and the USA and now, as manufacturers of quality concrete products, CONSENT is proud to produce PermaTrak® in the Middle East.
WHY PERMATRAK?
Our Permatrak® concrete boardwalk system represents the future of boardwalk construction. Created to address the maintenance, safety and longevity issues presented by timber and composite decking boardwalk structures, Permatrak® offers many features and benefits, making it superior to traditional wood or composite construction in numerous ways and its speed of installation suits fast track construction project deadlines.
With its modular nature and mushroom pin connecting system, PermaTrak® structures can easily follow the contours and level changes of a site, making it a cost-effective concrete walkway suitable for a variety of applications including deserts, riverbanks, wetlands, mangroves, rocky mountains and beaches.
PermaTrak® can be custom designed, engineered and manufactured in various sizes and shapes to suit special project needs and bespoke designs. A broad range of architectural finishes in non-fading colours are available such as broom textured, shotblasted, as well as the popular “timber look” pattern. The PermaTrak® system also allows for a variety of railing options. Railings range from utilitarian timber or simple powder-coated steel to ornamental aesthetic railings. The choice is yours.

INSTALLATION
The easy installation and integral engineered components means that PermaTrak® can be installed very quickly – up to 50 linear metres per day. Only basic setting out skills and minimal equipment and tools are needed since onsite power, in-situ cutting, screwing or bolting is usually not required. Span over span construction is possible using light machinery and PermaTrak® can be installed on elevated in-situ footings such as marine piles and onto breakwaters. In addition, due to its long life performance, the system can be extended or relocated at any time.
