#InnovationMonth: SureGO! produces flexible walkway bridge

Tex Neveling, owner of SureGO!, patented the flexible bridge solution in 2010, which he describes as "the world’s first safe and floating bridge prototype". The bridge was designed and tested at the harbour mouth in Richards Bay in 2014 for two months to see if it could endure strong storms and adjust to the changing tides.

The flexible bridge ensures an uninterrupted continuous deck surface, as well as hand railing and overhead protection in any position and while changing position.

SureGO! aims to provide:

• Safe, versatile, temporary and permanent floating bridges.
• Solutions to the specific engineering challenges of floating bridges, walkways and driveways.
• Fast, easily accessible and safe solutions in disaster management situations.

“What makes our bridges unique is that they provide the ideal solution to safely move from point A to point B, be it through walking or driving, over shifting surfaces. Our bridges prove to be a safe passage in areas with fluctuating currents, tides or water levels as well as in swamp and marsh areas with sludge and sand. SureGO! designed bridges change position and adapt according to the ever-changing environment, while ensuring continuous flooring and hand rail protection,” says Neveling.
