Capita Symonds design partner ‘Architrail’ were contracted to work on the Beijing Olympic cross country mountain biking track, just months before the games began in 2008. The original track was deemed too easy, so Architrail were asked to design and build of new sections of track, and to improve the existing sections. Cutting edge design techniques were developed to promote a good spectacle for TV viewers and improved racing and overtaking possibilities. With the addition of these new technically difficult sections, the track was brought into line with Olympic competition standards in time for the games.
