Horizontal Alignment

PermaTrak's skewed treads allow designers to incorporate curving sections of boardwalk into their trail or greenway projects.


Curved alignments are accommodated by creating a series of wedge shaped treads. The degree of a turn is unlimited and simply depends on the quantity of wedge shaped treads. 

Horizontal alignment on a permanent structure can be achieved with a curvilinear or deflection angle approach. A curvilinear approach uses wedge-shaped treads to approximate the trail alignment. A deflection angle approach uses sharp instantaneous turns to reroute the centerline. 

PermaTrak has the flexibility to allow the design to decide which is best suited for a given project.
