New Custom Floating Dock System and Aluminum Gangway for the Allentown Waterfront

Waterfront Project features BoardSafe’s custom project along the Lehigh River includes a commercial floating aluminum dock, gangway, clip-a-launch, and kayak storage racks. In October 2022, BoardSafe Docks completed the installation of a custom gangway, floating dock system, kayak launch, and storage racks on the Lehigh River in Allentown, PA. The Allentown Waterfront Project, developed by Jaindl Enterprises, is part of a redevelopment effort to revitalize an unused twenty-nine-acre industrial site, formerly home to Lehigh Structural Steel, into a vibrant mixed-use campus along the western banks of the Lehigh River. The complex will revitalize the site’s industrial history and blend it with a beautiful new waterfront community. The design includes a mix of commercial and residential properties that will host restaurants, retail stores, and recreational amenities, and will offer convenient lifestyle and growth opportunities to the local economy. Work hard, play easy Lifestyle communities hold corporate allure by offering a desirable location between suburban and city work-life. Walkable communities are attractive to both residents and businesses because of their accessible amenities and work-life balance. Recreational amenities, like parks, trail systems, and water access for kayaking, available at Allentown’s Waterfront, will help build the community the Jaindls envision. Waterfront communities bring like-minded people together by fostering shared interests and connecting people to nature. With the Lehigh River in their backyard, it’s a place where people can go after work or on weekends to take advantage of the close-to-home recreation and activities. Building and investing in our natural resources brings communities together and builds friendships,—particularly among communities that have not been connected in the past. The custom waterfront project developed by Jaindl Enterprises had a vision that included providing water access to paddlers wishing to paddle the Lehigh River. The shoreline approaching the Lehigh River is very steep and was inaccessible when the planning for the project began. BoardSafe Docks of Fleetwood, PA, was hired to design and manufacture a floating dock system and kayak launch that would open up accessibility to the beautiful riverfront for the new tenants. A BoardSafe Kayak Launch provides safe and easy access and cannot be found anywhere else on the Lehigh River, making it an attractive feature for those living and working by the river. Due to the steep slope of the shoreline and possible flooding and drought conditions along the river, a concrete foundation was formed to secure the floating dock system to land. Heavy-duty engineered support arms were used to secure the dock system to the land. The massive arms provide structure and durability to the dock, allowing it to rise and lower with changing river levels while maintaining a fixed distance to the shoreline. BoardSafe Docks also manufactured an 80-ft.-long industrial gangway to connect to the floating dock. On the river are (4) floating dock sections, each 20 ft. in length, forming a large 8-ft.-wide by 80-ft.-long floating dock. The structure provides a stable system that will be flood-resistant for decades to come. Features of the floating dock include a BoardSafe Kayak Clip-a-Launch to allow for easy boarding and exiting, kayak racks that store 3 kayaks per racking system, a protective dock bumper system, and adjustable cleats to tie up to the perimeter of the dock. What’s unique about the floating dock structure is the two support arms that allow the system to go up and down as the river fluctuates. The arms will provide stability to keep the floating dock system in place during flooding and drought conditions.
