Black Mountain Summit Trail

Makin Trax refurbished, and in one section re-aligned, a degraded and dangerous trail in a high use zone.

Challenges

• Highly sensitive and protected area
• Difficult access and no opportunity to work outside the trail corridor
• Steep unsustainable grade

Solutions
• Makin Trax is proficient at working in sensitive environs and has systems, procedures and equipment that ensure this happens
• Makin Trax uses specially made and/or adapted equipment to work in difficult environments. We have a purpose built emulsion sprayer specifically for walking trails in Australia
• Makin Trax implemented its trail building system to help bolster sustainability

Outcomes
• A durable track with a 2 coat emulsion seal that looks inviting and is very sustainable
• There were no impacts to the surrounding environment as a result of construction and the walking surface is now safe, enjoyable and sustainable
