Tiger Docks Completes Project for Great Rivers Greenway

COTTLEVILLE, MO (November 2014) – Tiger Docks recently completed the installation of a premium galvanized steel truss floating dock and bridge system at the Dardenne Greenway on the campus of St. Charles Community College in Cottleville as part of the Great Rivers Greenway District.

The Great Rivers Greenway District’s goal is to develop a metro region-wide system of greenways, parks and trails spanning Missouri and Illinois in an area of 1,216 square miles.

The new section of trail adjacent to St. Charles Community College links two existing sections of the Dardenne Greenway in Cottleville and St. Peters, as well as multiple existing trails in nearby parks, creating nearly five miles of continuous connectivity.

Tiger Docks’ contribution to the project included a 16’x24’ dock with a 6’x30’ galvanized steel bridge featuring ADA handrails, two benches, specially-designed deck railing that makes for easier fishing, and Trex Transcend composite decking. The dock is built on steel truss frames and includes encapsulated flotation.

“St. Charles area residents students and employees now have safe and convenient access to parks, recreation, and a nearby college, thanks to a new 1.5-mile trail in Great Rivers Greenway’s trail system,” according to a statement by the Great Rivers Greenways District. “Bringing parents and kids together outdoors near the water is one of our primary goals and Tiger Docks’ new installation does just that,” continued their spokesperson.
