Empowering Communities Through Universal Waterfront Access

We’ve highlighted key examples of how BoardSafe is making a difference. Our innovative waterfront solutions are designed to create lasting positive change, enhancing recreational opportunities, supporting economic vitality, & ensuring access for all abilities.

Chattahoochee Combination Dock

This combination dock system showcases BoardSafe’s ability to engineer one-of-a-kind, long-lasting solutions for complex, specialized projects.

We partnered with the Trust for Public Land (TPL) to create river access points along the unique terrain of the Chattahoochee River.

What set this project apart was the complex slope of the riverbank and the potential for flooding and strong currents.

Texas Rowing Center Austin

We partnered on the major improvement of the Texas Rowing Center - Austin's most popular stand-up paddleboard (SUP), kayak, canoe, and rowing destination on Ladybird Lake.

We engineered and manufactured the 15,000 sq. ft. main dock as well as two 3,000 sq. ft. buildings located directly on the dock. The building houses the racing sculls and equipment on our custom manufactured aluminum racking system.

Project-guided engineering by our team allows the gangway to travel and pivot safely, facilitating stable access to this one-of-a-kind restaurant.

Boston Tallship Gangway

245-foot tall ship, Caledonia has been repurposed as a floating restaurant on Boston Harbor. We engineered and installed a gangway to provide access for this unique water-access dining experience.

Tidal changes between 9ft and 12ft had to be taken into consideration during the design process

Mutual Riverfront Park Dual Kayak Launch

Mutual Riverfront Park in Buffalo, New York, sits along the Buffalo River adjacent to historic Elevator Alley, one of the city's most recognized industrial landmarks.

We connected a custom floating dock system directly to the existing seawall and installed two kayak launches to serve a wider range of users. One launch includes an adaptive boarding kit for inclusive access, while the second serves general paddlers, improving capacity and user flow.

Chester Frost Full Waterfront Buildout

After storm damage to its existing facilities, we designed and installed a full waterfront improvement that replaced what was lost and raised the bar for recreation accessibility.

The system includes an 80-ft. ADA-compliant gangway, two courtesy docks for boaters, and a 960-sq.-ft. covered accessible fishing pier. Together they make Chester Frost one of the few public parks in Tennessee to offer this level of combined boat access and fishing infrastructure in a single location.
