The Liollio team began with pre-design for this park’s boardwalk project in Columbia SC. The design was to be compliant with the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABAAS) to include all ramps, walkways, and handrails. Design considerations were also given to material selections to improve ongoing maintenance for the park and to correct/minimize the existing visitor traffic pinch-points. Project scope included: allowance for replacement of individual deck boards without having to remove handrails; structural load calculations were used to accommodate the increase in visitors during special events such as the Synchronized Firefly Event; widening areas to accommodate visitor gathering and viewing along the boardwalk, while allowing for continuous visitor flow; and enhanced maintenance features such as ladder access and security gates for visitor restriction.
