Black Mountain Walking Trail

Makin Trax designed and constructed a 1.6km walking trail as an extension to the Australian National Botanic Gardens, on Black Mountain in the ACT.  Some of the notable aspects of this project in a highly sensitive and protected area, with extremely difficult access and steep rocky terrain:

  • Makin Trax is proficient in working with sensitive environs and has systems, procedures and equipment that ensure site sensitivities are protected
  • we utilised our experience in heli-lifting operations to lift infrastructure into the difficult site
  • we applied all of our trail building knowledge to offer solutions mid project and dramatically enhanced the project from the outstanding viewing platform to the mid trail seating nooks
  • we  utilised Surefoot footing system for all bridges and viewing platform which enabled remote site installation and a concrete free environment.
