ZANESVILLE, Ohio, Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AXION
International Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: AXIH), a leader in recycled
plastic and polymer composite technologies used to produce ECOTRAX®
rail ties/sleepers and STRUXURE® building products, announced today
that its STRUXURE® Commercial Boardwalk products were used by the
Centerville-Washington Park District to recently complete a
wetlands walkway project at Oak Creek South Park near Dayton, Ohio.
The Park District used large profile 7" x 9" STRUXURE® Timbers
in the sub-structure and small profile 1" x 8" grey embossed
surface boards to build an approximate 100-foot long walkway and
observation deck in a western Ohio public park. The
Centerville-Washington Park District received a "Buy-Recycle Grant"
from the Montgomery County Solid Waste District that will reimburse
100% of the material cost for the boardwalk project.
Ken Carter, Park Operations
Manager for Centerville-Washington
Park said, "The AXION products were as easy, if not easier
to work with than traditional lumber products. We were able to
complete our boardwalk project in half the time as we would have
using wood products, and we don't have to worry about future
replacement costs due to decaying wood."
"The boardwalk combines STRUXURE® Timbers as sleepers and joists
in addition to new high performance surface boards to create a
structural composite system that is ideal for Park & Recreation
projects," commented AXION's EVP for Building Products Dave Crane.
"Our prior work with Logan County
Ohio on the Onion Ditch Vehicular Bridge led to an
introduction with the Ohio Parks & Recreation
Association. We are extremely excited about the opportunities
presented in Ohio for our recycled materials used on bridges and
park trails around the state."
