Minimal Environmental Impact

Here at Tropical Construction we are continually looking at new ideas to comply with guidelines set forth by SWFMD, Army Core of Engineers and other entities where WetLand use permits are scrutinized due to land use impaction. However there are many ways to protect these sensitive areas and still make them useable by and for the public to enjoy the wonderful vistas we have in Florida and other areas around the Southeastern US. Much plant and animal species indigenous to our area would never be seen and appreciated if not for new methodologies of boardwalk construction utilized by Tropical. Using longer bent lengths to minimize ground impaction and building from the top of the structure keeps equipment off of sensitive areas with structures as narrow as 6’ for pedestrian traffic. It is our hope to coincide with nature and leave little to no impact on our ecosystems.

Resistance to the Elements

Unlike other manmade structural building materials such as concrete and steel, timber tends to perform better against highway freeze prevention practices through the use of salt.

More Cost Effective

Timber used as a building material is a renewable resource allowing it to be a more cost effective construction material through the use of modern day forestry practices.
