Jetfilter System on Bridge Repairs Natchez Trace


WWW.Jetfiltersystem.com

Natchez Trace is a 444 mile drive in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.  It is a scenic drive with historic places, beautiful views, plants and wildlife.

The National Park Service along with the Federal Highway Administration needed to do some bridge repairs. They used the 4" Jetfilter System to help relieve hydrostatic pressure. What is really neat is that the drains started to work immediately after being installed! There is the convenience of installing in front of the structure rather than doing the repair from behind.  If for some reason there is a clog, there is a removable filter. This filter has geotextile material and the filter can be cleaned or replaced.

ThruFlow in Rivertown Florida



The Rivertown community, located along the St.John's River in Florida. Rivertown is a master-planned community.  One of it amenities is Riverfront Park.  The park has a community pier.  It is a beautiful park with very mature trees with walking and jogging trails.

ThruFlow was used on the pier.  The second pictures shows the openings of the decking to let the sunlight through. There were seagrasses underneath the pier.  ThruFlow with its openings helps the aquatic vegetation.

Mindi at Dock Supply sent in these beautiful pictures of dock on Sea Island using ThruFlow.

The homeowners should really enjoy their dock especially this summer. ThruFlow is very nice to walk barefoot  because it doesn't get hot, no nails, no splinters!  Also if there is a hurricane, ThruFlow really helps with the storm surge. One other great advantage for homeowners is the NO maintenance.

Derek McGivern and IMBC at Disney World

www.ThruFlow.com

Derek McGivern , General Manager of ThruFlow, exhibited at the IMBC show in Orlando Florida.

Thru Flow has any advantages over other types of composite decking.

One is that it really ,really helps with storm surge. We have several testimonials on ThruFlow coming through hurricanes while other docks did not.

Another big advantage is that ThruFlow is ADA compliant. Around March 15, 2012 new marinas or renovation of Marinas, must  comply with 2010 Accessibility Standards.  www.ada.gov   

Also Thru Flow has 360 degree non slip surface which is great for ramps.

Look for more benefits on the Thru Flow web site www.ThruFlow.com or www.awtfl.com .

Special Thanks to Derek for coming to Florida and exhibiting. It always great to see him!!
