Nature Bridges, specialists in top-down bridge and boardwalk construction for environmentally sensitive areas announced today the completion of the top-down construction of boardwalk and bridges at the Windmark Village Center in Gulf County, Florida.
The completed Nature Bridges project includes 3,215-feet of top-down pedestrian bridges, 385-feet of top-down bridges, 6,957 square feet of deck, 450 feet of pine railings and 1,540 of boardwalk construction.
The boardwalks were built using the innovative top-down boardwalk construction method. With top-down construction, all large equipment stays on top of the new structure during the entire building process. This method provides a long-lasting structure and helps to preserve the surrounding plant and animal habitats during and after construction.
Windmark Beach is a new coastal community near Mexico Beach where people can live, shop and play. Once completed, the WindMark Beach will include a total of 1,662 residences on 2,020 acres of carefully planned, environmentally sensitive land with 3.5 miles of beachfront.
