Project Summery

JP Industries designed and built a Canopy Walk – A landmark project, this structure ranks as the second-longest walkway of its kind globally and the first in Africa. Spanning a 2.5-kilometer route, it features 3 suspended bridges and 7 scenic deck viewing areas. A total of 650 metric tons of material was manually transported and installed, making it a one-of-a-kind achievement on the continent.

Overview & Challenge

This iconic Eco-Tourism project required building a canopy walkway atop a mountainous forest terrain, presenting significant challenges in terms of accessibility, environmental sensitivity, and engineering logistics. Transporting materials to elevated, forested areas while preserving the natural habitat demanded meticulous planning. The structural design also had to ensure minimal ground impact and maximum visitor safety at high elevations.

Solution & Results

JP Industries provided a Turnkey Solution, from Structural Design and Material fabrication to on-site construction. Specialized modular components were fabricated and assembled on-site to create the elevated steel walkway, integrating suspended bridges and deck view platforms seamlessly into the natural landscape. The result is a safe, durable, and visually stunning walkway that enhances tourism while respecting the environment. This landmark project highlights JP Industries expertise in remote location infrastructure and Eco-conscious Engineering Solutions.
