Plans

Typ­ic­al Trail Con­struc­tion Detail

  • Cross fall adjus­ted to suit flow for riders and ensure path sur­face drains
  • Path edges sta­bil­ised using stripped turf reclaimed from path tray
  • Suit­able form­a­tion (or lar­ger graded base aggregate)
  • 150mm Min­im­um depth com­pacted sub-base mater­i­al with high dust content
  • FALL
  • Turf lined top side ditch where neces­sary, this will run to twin wall pipe which will pass under the trail form­a­tion to allow sur­face water to drain away on the down­hill side.
  • Exist­ing ground level

  • FALL
  • Path edges sta­bil­ised using stripped turf reclaimed from path tray — max 45 degree batter
  • Exist­ing ground level
  • Turf lined top side ditch where neces­sary this will run to twin wall pipe which will pass under the trail form­a­tion to allow sur­face water to drain away on the down­hill side.

  • Geogrid (ter­ram or sim.)

Rock Fea­ture Con­struc­tion Detail
