Build approach
One design process. Two proven surfaces.
Asphalt and concrete are both core FlowTracks offerings. The right specification comes from the site, the riding goals, the project team and the conditions the finished track must handle.
These considerations guide design and construction. Final dimensions, materials and details are documented for each project rather than applied as universal numbers.
01 / Section
Site assessment
| Existing conditions | Review grades, soils, vegetation, utilities, neighbouring uses and available footprint. |
|---|---|
| Construction access | Plan equipment, material and crew access before the layout is fixed. |
| Local requirements | Coordinate the project-specific approvals, engineering and procurement information the owner requires. |
02 / Section
Subgrade, base and drainage
| Subgrade | Remove unsuitable material and prepare stable support based on observed site and soil conditions. |
|---|---|
| Base | Specify and compact the granular structure for the selected surface, loading and local ground conditions. |
| Water management | Shape positive drainage, protect low points and coordinate outlets so water does not collect on the riding line. |
03 / Section
Geometry and rider access
| Flow | Coordinate rollers, transitions and banked turns so riders can carry momentum without pedalling. |
|---|---|
| Progression | Balance approachable lines with room to build speed and skill where the footprint allows. |
| Visibility | Review sightlines, entries, exits, rest areas and circulation around the track. |
| Inclusive use | Consider gradients, transitions, clearances and access routes for the riders the project intends to serve. |
04 / Section
Asphalt surface
| Material selection | Choose the asphalt specification with the project team for climate, intended use and local supply. |
|---|---|
| Paving | Coordinate placement and compaction through curves and transitions to maintain the designed riding line. |
| Finish review | Check continuity, drainage, edges and surface consistency before handover. |
05 / Section
Concrete surface
| Material selection | Choose the concrete specification with the project team for climate, exposure and project requirements. |
|---|---|
| Pour sequence | Plan reinforcement, joints and pours around the geometry and project-specific engineering. |
| Finish review | Check transitions, texture, drainage, joints and edges before handover. |
06 / Section
Finish and handover
| Quality review | Walk the complete track, review riding lines and record items that need correction before opening. |
|---|---|
| Project records | Provide the agreed drawings, product information and construction records for the owner’s files. |
| Care guidance | Explain inspection and maintenance needs for the selected surface and surrounding landscape. |
| Staff walkthrough | Review the finished track and practical inspection points with the owner’s team. |
Every project receives a surface-specific scope. Site investigation, applicable approvals and project engineering govern the final construction documents.
