Mt Awawang trails

Scope

Repair and upgrade trails within the precinct.

Challenges

  • Working on a very steep site with an undesirable alignment that went straight up the hill
  • Rocky and steep slopes
  • A highly erodible alignment that that was not safe or sustainable. The opposite to best practice in trail building

Solutions

  • Makin Trax offered a more sustainable and practical alignment that did not trigger compliance issues
  • We used best practice and our proprietary knowledge to implement a strategy that would build more sustainability into the tracks whilst vastly improving the user experience
  • The client and the local community advocates were extremely happy with the outcome and an example has now been set in how to transform ugly eroded and unsafe trail into something that is sustainable, attractive and enjoyable to use
  • We maximised the budget by using cost effective solutions that performed as required and enhanced the surrounding environment

    Outcomes

  • Makin Trax delivered another project far beyond expectation. A level of trust was built with the client which engendered sustainability interest and a far superior public facility than what was presented before the commencement of the project.  Makin Trax took the lead in the design and construction and demonstrated best practice in trail building.
  • The client and the local community advocates were extremely happy with the outcome and an example has now been set in how to transform ugly eroded and unsafe trail into something that is sustainable, attractive and enjoyable to use.
