DESIGN

The design process starts with the use of high-resolution LiDAR terrain data. From this an accurate model of the landscape is built, areas of restriction and opportunity are shown and the trail plotted within these to exploit the ultimate flow.

Trails are designed in line with International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) guidelines. These have become the world class standard for natural surface single trails due to their erosion mitigation properties, which protect the surrounding environment and reduce maintenance requirements.

As an expert in the field, I can craft the trail to suit any skill level, from budding beginners to seasoned experts. The IMBA Trail Difficulty Rating System in adhered to, or local guidelines. I’ve delivered on projects in single trail, pump track, jump track as well as walking trail design.

3D models offer a stunning visualization of your trail concept and allow for a thorough evaluation of its feasibility and potential by all stakeholders.

Leverage cutting-edge technology to turn your trail ideas into a reality.

TEST

At the heart of all trail design decisions is water. The potential flow of watercourses on site can be predicted using accurate catchment area calculation and rainfall data, this determines the type of crossing required for long term sustainability.

Flood simulation integrates data to present a flooding scenario within the context of a projects real world surroundings. Water coverage, depth and velocity is shown allowing for better long term planning of trails.

Dive into a fun and interactive 3D model of your trail with our virtual game simulation. It's a unique way to engage clients and provide a playful preview of the trail design, sparking excitement and support.

Advanced simulation ensures design viability.

BUILD

Soil cut and fill quantities are provided allowing assessment of construction costs and environmental impacts. For pump and jump tracks fully dimensioned plans can be supplied inclusive of soil volumes.

Your provided with a GPS trace to guide the building process. Hardware can be supplied allowing you to follow this trace within 1.8m accuracy on site.

Augmented reality technology can be utilised, projecting the proposed trail into real space. Allowing you to walk around the entire trail and visualize it at scale.

If desired, Advanced CAD can also arrange construction quotes from professional trail builders, ensuring a seamless process from concept through to completion.

Build your trails with precision and efficiency.
