Building a pump track
Water management
When building bike trails and facilities, it is extremely important to know how to deal with heavy rainfall. Drainage systems are essential, especially for jumps and banked curves, but also for larger sealed areas.
After all, efficient drainage not only means longer periods of operation, but also less maintenance work.
Artificial obstacles / equipment
Often, natural obstacles do not meet the requirements of the respective track or type of facility and must therefore be extended by artificial sections. The possibilities range from additional stone fields to complex constructions made of steel and wood. Any kind of artificial elements are possible.
Building a pump track sustainable
Targeted and multifunctional planning
Our focus is on developing courses and facilities designed to meet the needs of sports groups both now and in the future. Through multifunctional usage concepts, we enable a single facility to be utilised by different user groups. This reduces the need for additional new-build projects and thus limits the amount of land required.
Minimising land use and restoring natural habitats
Construction projects have an impact on the natural environment. We work according to the principle: ‘As much as necessary, as little as possible’. We limit alterations to the natural topography to what is strictly necessary for the construction work. Where such interventions are unavoidable, we incorporate measures for the renaturation and partial restoration of near-natural areas into the relevant project concept.
Focus on material durability and longevity
To minimise maintenance requirements and counteract wear and tear, we select building materials and construction methods in accordance with defined durability and quality standards. A long service life for the facilities reduces the need for material replacement and ensures the long-term preservation of the structures.

How is a pump track built?
The construction of an asphalt pump track is similar to classic road construction projects. After an initial consultation and site analysis, a preliminary design is created, forming the basis for detailed planning. This is followed by the construction phase – from excavation to the final shaping of the pump track.
If you would like to learn more about the pump track construction process, we will be happy to advise you.
Who is a pump track suitable for?
The first pump tracks were made of dirt and used mainly by mountain bikers. With the introduction of asphalt pump tracks, the concept has expanded significantly: today, they are suitable for both beginners and professionals, with a design that can focus on different target groups. On an asphalt pump track, the rule is: anything that rolls works – from mountain bikes and skateboards to scooters and even wheelchairs.
How much does a pump track cost?
The cost of a pump track depends on its size and construction method. Dirt pump tracks are the cheapest option but require high maintenance and offer little flexibility. Asphalt pump tracks are more durable, with costs varying depending on the asphalt type and the chosen track elements. A simple balance bike track differs greatly in price from a professional facility with jumps and curves.
What are the advantages of asphalt pump tracks?
The main advantages of an asphalt pump track are its durability and low maintenance requirements. Its robust construction makes it resistant to wear and vandalism. Another often-overlooked benefit is noise reduction: at around 80 dB, asphalt pump tracks are among the quietest sports facilities – significantly quieter than football or tennis courts.
