Royston BMX Track, Hertfordshire

Royston Rockets BMX Club appointed Clark & Kent Contractors to carry out a full rebuild of their regional BMX track to bring it to a modern national standard.

The track had a total overhaul that included an entirely new layout and footprint.

The project included introducing tarmacadam corners to national specifications, constructing limestone straights and an extensive landscape scheme.

To say that the client is happy is an understatement and since completion, participation numbers at the BMX track site have rocketed.

Concrete works on the start hill included shuttering, pouring various slabs, and building retaining walls to bring the start hill in line with modern specifications.

The works enabled BMX riders to have the opportunity to practise their starting gate techniques. A good selection of jumps was used to increase user skill levels and help build the skills necessary to achieve their goals.

The whole BMX track was constructed by Clark & Kent with rider safety in mind, and the results have surpassed the client's expectations.

In selecting a contractor for the works, Royston Rockets criteria were to choose a firm that has expertise in the field, a specialist skillset to include tarmacadam surfacing, and finally to introduce an exceptional landscaping scheme.
