Rail Dimensions – to take 3no 48.3mm diameter rails and 2no 25mm diameter solid rails
In areas situated near a marine or with salt water erosion, a Waterside paint specification can be provided. Please speak to Broxap sales – POA
Waterfront environments demand a higher level of structural resilience. These ductile iron railings are designed to withstand regular exposure to moisture, wind loading and heavy public use, making them suitable for both urban and coastal schemes.
The straight 5-rail configuration creates a strong visual and physical boundary, while maintaining open sight lines across water features and public spaces.
Typical applications include:
• Quaysides and harbours
• Marina developments
• Canal-side walkways
• Riverside promenades
• Coastal paths and seafronts
• Regeneration projects along docklands
Rail Dimensions and Layout
The Quayside system is configured to accommodate:
• 3no 48.3mm diameter rails
• 2no 25mm diameter solid rails
This combination provides a balanced and structured appearance while delivering a substantial level of containment. As a post and rail barrier, the system is particularly suited to areas where fall prevention and edge demarcation are critical.
The straight configuration allows for consistent alignment along linear waterfronts and is well suited to long runs where a continuous visual edge is required.
Ductile Iron Posts
Ductile iron offers improved strength and impact resistance compared to traditional cast iron, making it a practical choice for exposed public environments. It combines structural reliability with a refined finish suitable for contemporary and heritage-led projects.
Posts are:
• Supplied with baseplate fixing only
• Painted in a single standard Broxap colour
• Suitable for coordination with surrounding street furniture
Rails are available in galvanised steel or stainless steel, allowing the system to be tailored to site conditions and aesthetic requirements.
• Galvanised steel rails offer durable corrosion protection for general waterfront environments
• Stainless steel rails are often specified in high-salinity or prestige locations
In areas situated near a marine environment or exposed to salt water erosion, a Waterside paint specification can be provided (POA), offering enhanced protection against aggressive conditions.
Marine and Riverside Railings for Challenging Environments
As marine railings, this system is particularly well suited to:
• Saltwater and tidal locations
• Areas subject to spray and high humidity
• Sites with increased corrosion risk
For inland schemes, the system also performs effectively as riverside railings, providing safe separation between pedestrian routes and watercourses without obstructing views.
The open multi-rail configuration maintains visual permeability, supporting passive surveillance and enhancing the user experience along waterfront paths.
The Quayside Straight 5 Rail system is supplied with baseplate fixing only, allowing secure installation onto concrete plinths or structural slabs commonly found in waterfront developments.
When specifying, consideration should be given to:
• Substrate strength and anchorage requirements
• Proximity to saltwater and need for enhanced coatings
• Required rail material (galvanised or stainless steel)
• Integration with lighting, signage and paving design
• Overall alignment and termination details
Proper detailing at design stage ensures long-term structural integrity and reduced maintenance in exposed locations.
For cohesive public realm design, quayside railings can be specified alongside complementary products such as:
• Bollards and mooring posts
• Litter bins suitable for coastal environments
• Benches and seating for waterfront promenades
• Cycle parking for leisure routes
• Planters and landscaping features
This coordinated approach supports consistent material palettes and simplifies asset management across waterfront schemes.
