Project details

Capilano cliff path suspension bridge

In the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park in Vancouver, Canada, visitors can expect a spectacular network of bridges, stairs and platforms high above the Capilano River. The famous Cliffwalk meanders along the cliff face and offers unique views of the fascinating gorge. The narrow, high-level walkways provide a thrill, while the X-TEND® stainless steel cable mesh as a railing infill ensures maximum safety. The delicate structure of the mesh allows unobstructed views of nature and enhances the feeling of being in the middle of an adventure.

The Cliffwalk was equipped with 370 m² of X-TEND® CXE meshes, which offer an ideal combination of safety and transparency with a mesh width of 60 mm and a cable diameter of 2 mm. The construction is complemented by the robust I-SYS® stainless steel cable system, whose 8 mm thick cables stabilize the railing structure. The solutions enable seamless integration of the safety precautions into the spectacular architecture of the Cliffwalk. The filigree X-TEND® mesh provides an open look that does not detract from the impressive views of the gorge. At the same time, the I-SYS® system provides the necessary stability to guarantee visitors a safe experience.

With the Cliffwalk, the renowned architecture firm Morrison Hershfield has created a project that perfectly combines adventure and the experience of nature. The combination of sophisticated architecture and modern safety technology makes the Cliffwalk a highlight in Capilano Suspension Bridge Park - an unforgettable experience for visitors from all over the world. With the durable, weather-resistant and maintenance-free features of X-TEND® and I-SYS®, the Cliffwalk proves how innovative safety solutions can meet the highest demands even in challenging environments.
