Top Asphalt Paving Projects - In the fast lane at Indian F1 Track

India’s new Formula 1 motor racing circuit, with its tight construction tolerances, demands considerable driving skill.

More than 500 million people worldwide watched the first Formula 1 motor race in India's history.
The drivers were thrilled by the new asphalt circuit with its numerous bends and the peripheral area around the new race track at Greater Noida near the capital New Delhi, which were built by machinery from German company Vögele (a member of the Wirtgen Group).

Working with four Super 1800-2 pavers, the Vögele team helped construct the Buddh International Circuit.

“To build a perfectly level asphalt pavement for the drivers as they battle for milliseconds, contractor Oriental Structure Engineers from New Delhi used the Vögele pavers for the crushed-stone base followed by three layers of asphaltic concrete. A Big MultiPlex Ski was used to ensure perfect grade and slope control,” says Vögele.

A demanding 5.1km circuit with 16 bends, a road varying between 18m-25m in width, super-elevations up to 12% and gradients up to 10%, distinguishes this newcomer to the Formula 1 racing calendar, and demands considerable driving skill, offering optimum conditions for breathtaking overtaking manoeuvres.

Oriental’s experts opted for technology from Vögele in order to deliver top-quality paving results despite these demanding requirements. Aided by the powerful pavers, they built a two-layer crushed-stone base and paved roughly 325,000tonnes of asphalt for the circuit and its peripheral areas in the course of the project.
