Latrobe & Kentish Council: Wild Mersey MTB Trail Rebuild

---

Groundtechnology Solutions delivers high-quality, environmentally conscious trail construction services throughout Tasmania. Specialising in both mountain bike (MTB) trails and recreational walking paths, we work with landowners, councils, and developers to create durable, sustainable tracks that blend seamlessly with the natural terrain.

Whether it’s a community walking track, a downhill MTB flow trail, or a remote wilderness link, we bring practical experience, industry know-how, and professional machinery to every project.

We construct MTB trails tailored to the terrain, rider experience, and project goals. Our team builds:

• Gravity-fed downhill and enduro-style trails
   
• Flow trails and jump lines
   
• Technical singletrack and cross-country routes
   
• Skills parks and pump tracks
   

Every trail is hand-finished for ride quality, drainage, and long-term sustainability. We work with trail designers and stakeholders to meet IMBA standards while delivering tracks that riders love.

From bushwalking loops to shared-use community paths, we build low-impact, durable trails that are accessible and well-integrated with the landscape. Our services include:

• New trail alignment and construction
   
• Trail resurfacing and drainage upgrades
   
• Viewing platforms and rest points
   
• Creek crossings and culvert installation
   

We prioritise minimal environmental disturbance and align with land management and conservation requirements.

We also provide trail upkeep services to keep existing networks in top condition. This includes resurfacing, drainage correction, vegetation management, and hazard mitigation.

• End-to-End Capability: We manage the entire build, from groundworks and drainage to surfacing and signage installation.
   
• Purpose-Built Equipment: We operate our own compact excavators, tipper trucks, and earthmoving gear suitable for sensitive and remote environments.
   
• Experienced Crew: Our operators are trail users themselves — we understand what makes a track functional, safe, and enjoyable.
   
• Compliance and Safety: All works are completed to relevant Australian standards, with environmental and WHS compliance as core priorities.
   

We operate throughout Tasmania, including the Huon Valley, Greater Hobart, Launceston, Devonport, and remote areas. We’re equipped and insured to work on private land, public land, and council-managed reserves.
