The DrMud Engineering Process

Six phases designed to produce predictable costs, safer riding, and fewer mid-season rebuilds

Terrain Analysis

  • LIDAR Scanning

  • Soil Analysis

  • Drainage Mapping

We capture your site with LIDAR and map soil, drainage, and access constraints early — preventing costly surprises once machines arrive.

Digital Design

  • 3D Trail Modeling

  • Speed Simulation

  • Flow Optimization

We design every line in a digital model first, validating speed and flow so the built trail matches intent without trial-and-error rework.

Physics Validation

  • Physics Testing

  • Safety Verification

  • Rider Dynamics

We validate jumps, berms, and transitions with physics-based simulation to reduce incidents, protect uptime, and avoid expensive retrofits.

Construction Docs

  • Machine GPS Files

  • Material Volumes

  • Build Sequence

You get machine GPS files, volumes, and a build sequence — turning design into predictable machine time, materials, and scheduling.

Build Support

  • GPS Machine Control

  • Daily QA Checks

  • Progress Tracking

We build with our own experienced crew using GPS machine control and daily QA — ensuring the result matches the model, stays on schedule, and stays on budget.

Post-Build Analysis

  • As-Built Documentation

  • Maintenance Schedule

  • Wear Prediction

Post-build, we deliver as-builts and maintenance planning so you can forecast labor, reduce downtime, and keep trails running consistently.
