We provide everything you need to know and can supply both airbag and dryslope material. Our partner JF DrySki provides the most realistic material available on the market.
4 Step Process
The dryslope facility design is a 4 step process to take you from concept to a site design that you can take to tender with a local contracting company for specific construction quotes.
Determine Jump Ramp Size and Ramp Configuration Options:
- Several initial slope configuration options for your evaluation and selection.
- Preliminary recommended site profile and cut/fill requirements.
- CAD drawings with plan/profile view of the site – Shown on the existing slope topo lines, including the ramp’s finished grade dimensions required for dryslope installation.
- Conceptual drawings with the recommended site plan layout for client confirmation of final ramp design.
Once we have confirmed the ramp design, we can move forward with providing a general site plan with all information required for your contractor to provide quotes for construction. This includes:
- Overall site dimensions
- Dryslope Layout
- Drop in ramp dimensions, pressure-treated wood (or concrete) platform dimensions, compact fill and drainage gravel dimensions and requirements
- Anchor requirements and layout
- Jump design dimensions
- PAB Overall Dimensions
- Sprinkler layout requirements and methodology
- Irrigation pump requirements
- Air blower power requirements
This is the detailed plan that shows the proposed earthworks, cut/fill, required side slopes and ramp positioning on the site. Note these are recommendations only and should be reviewed and approved by a geotechnical engineer prior to construction. They include:
- Existing site and Proposed site plan view
- Site profile view
- Slope cross-section analysis
- Cut fill analysis
- Complete site CAD model for reference
- Final site CAD rendering for presentation
