Star Aluminium and Renmark Council Collaborate on Innovative Tidal Gangway System
Solving Riverfront Access Challenges in South Australia
At Star Aluminium, we thrive on turning unique access challenges into safe, reliable solutions. Our recent partnership with Renmark Council in South Australia is a perfect example of this commitment. Together, we’ve designed and delivered a custom gangway system equipped with innovative slide mechanisms to seamlessly handle the ever-changing tides of the Murray River.
Solving Riverfront Access Challenges in South Australia
The Renmark region is known for its beautiful riverfront, but fluctuating water levels can make safe access to pontoons and boats a real challenge. That’s why Renmark Council approached Star Aluminium for a solution that would provide both durability and adaptability.
Custom Engineering Designed for Tidal Environments
Our engineering team worked closely with council representatives to develop a gangway system featuring custom slides. These slides allow the gangway to smoothly adjust with the rise and fall of the river, ensuring safe, stable access at all times—no matter the tide.
Key Features of the Renmark Gangway System
Key features of the Renmark gangway system include:
- Custom slide mechanisms for effortless tidal adjustment
- Robust, weather-resistant aluminium construction
- Non-slip surfaces for enhanced safety
- Designed and manufactured entirely in-house by Star Aluminium
This project is a testament to the power of local collaboration and Australian engineering. We’re proud to support Renmark Council in making their riverfront more accessible and safer for the community.
A Model for Coastal and Inland Waterway Projects
As demand grows for tidal and floating access solutions in coastal and inland water regions across Australia, Star Aluminium continues to lead the way with custom-designed gangway systems. Our solutions are tailored to address rising and falling water levels, offering councils, marinas, and waterfront infrastructure providers safe, low-maintenance access systems that stand the test of time.
Australian Craftsmanship, Built for the Outdoors
Proudly designed and built in Melbourne, our aluminium gangways are engineered to perform in the outdoor environments—resistant to corrosion, easy to maintain, and fully compliant with Australian safety standards. Whether on a riverbank in South Australia or a harbour in Queensland, we bring intelligent access design to wherever it’s needed.
