Configuration
The Xrosswater sections can be assembled
- End to End to make a straight walkway.
- End to Side to make 90 degree turns.
- Side by side to make a floating work platform or increase the walkway width in ratio’s of 0.75m (2.5ft).
The extra width extensions can carry cable trays, pipes and offer significant stability control for crosswinds or wave motion. For walkways that need to follow a dredger or work boat, Xrosswater also offer a walkway that can pivot like a snake. A 600m pivot walkway with lights, de-icers, cable trays was delivered to Shell Oil in Northern Canada
