Client Challenges

High slip risk due to high foot traffic

The bridge would experience constant pedestrian use, demanding a durable non-slip finish.

Needed a safe, vibrant, sustainable bridge surface solution

The surfacing had to balance safety, functionality, and aesthetics while reflecting the hospital’s vibrant identity

The solution had to be long-lasting, low-maintenance, and respectful of the surrounding Kings Park environment.

Solution

Delivering the fix

Repurposed
tonnes

of recycled glass

Matched
vibrant colours
to hospital logo

Installed 655m² of slip-resistant OmniGrip ReSurface

The pathway was surfaced with a durable treatment designed to handle heavy use while maintaining high slip resistance.

Matched 11 vibrant colours to hospital logo

We recreated the hospital’s brand palette to deliver a bright, welcoming bridge that reflects its identity.

Repurposed 6 tonnes of Australian crushed recycled glass (eq. to 22,925 beer bottles)

The surface used locally sourced recycled materials, reinforcing the project’s sustainability goals.

Collaborated with designers, builders, and Main Roads WA

Our team worked closely with all stakeholders to deliver a seamless and tailored outcome.

Delivered durable, easy-to-clean surface

The finished surface is low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and guaranteed to look vibrant for years to come.

The results

Aesthetic Integration that reflects the vibrant branding of Perth Children’s Hospital
Enhanced safety for staff, patients, and visitors
Increased slip-resistance
Long-term durability with minimal maintenance
Supports sustainable construction, community wellbeing, and long-term cost savings
Reduced environmental footprint

Impact
