Many owners have asked the question, “How can we minimize the maintenance costs on our boardwalk?” The City of Lilburn, GA asked this question when the aging wooden structures on the 4.2 mile Camp Creek Greenway Trail were beginning to cost too much to maintain. According to City Project Manager Kim Conroy, “We were sending maintenance crews out to repair the wooden bridges on a monthly basis, and it was taking a big hit on our operating costs.” The City was getting frustrated, as this is not something they expected from a 10-year-old wooden structure. They needed a long-term fix that would eliminate the need for ongoing boardwalk maintenance.
