Trail design and construction services.
We design and build mountain bike trails, walking tracks and asphalt pump tracks, across Australia, New Zealand and Japan. More than 30 combined years of trail building, civil construction and landscaping, and we own the plant we build with.
What we build.
Cross country, enduro and downhill, from a single descent to a 60 kilometre network. Storm damage repair, seasonal maintenance and trail safety audits.
National parks, World Heritage rainforest and alpine country. Natural stone steps, FRP boardwalks, Class 1 accessible structures, and helicopter delivery where there is no road in.
How we do it.
Design
We produce a detailed design before construction starts, so a client can see the finished product and settle scope and cost before money is committed. Constructability, site conditions and intended users all get decided at that stage rather than on site.
Construction
The work happens in places most contractors would not take a machine. World Heritage rainforest, alpine country above the snow line, and islands reached by light aircraft. Compact low ground pressure plant and helicopter delivery are what make those sites workable.
Consulting
GPS surveying of new and existing trails, concept plans and cost estimation, so a client can scope and budget a project before it goes to tender. Trail safety audits on existing networks.
Safety and compliance.
Our safe work practices are backed by membership of the Advanced Safety Systems Australia compliance system, covering safe work procedures, SWMS, incident reporting, inductions and specialist training.
Plant and equipment.
What we bring to site
We own the plant we build with, so we mobilise on our own schedule and turn up with machines sized to the job. The fleet leans deliberately towards compact, low ground pressure machinery, which is what lets us work in tight and environmentally sensitive terrain without leaving a footprint wider than the trail itself.
The fleet continues to expand as the work does.
