UHPC® - Asphalt Combination for high speed race circuits

Many friends and customers of our UHPC
Ultra High Performance Concrete material have repeatedly asked us in the past why there are streets, lanes, squares, etc. with UHPC®Phalt (UHPC®Phalt semi-flexible wearing course consist of an open-graded asphalt filled with high strength UHPC® mortar) content that are exposed to extreme traffic and environmental conditions but are not race tracks. 

We are big fans of automobile or motorcycle
racing. We are also very confident that we can
develop and deliver extremely good pavement 
systems for high speed racetracks or city courses.
Unfortunately, we have no contact with the
operators, organizers or architects. 

If you think about it, UHPC®Phalt is a very
good solution for the strain of the racetracks.
With a standard road asphalt surface, the quality
can only be changed via the quality of the
asphalt. The new thing is that at UHPC Phalt
the quality of the surface can be changed via
the quality of the asphalt and the UHPC. So
there are combinations that standard asphalt
cannot offer. In addition, the expected lifetime without loss of quality of the combination 
covering is several times longer.

The original idea for developing this material
combination was to line roads, runways and
industrial roads with extreme traffic loads and
extreme environmental conditions with an
extremely hard and heavy-duty UHPC-Asphalt
combination. The implementation of this idea
was very successful, as the experiences of the
last 25 years show.

The UHPC®Phalt material combination can
be set so that it is extremely abrasion-resistant /
wear-resistant or extremely load-bearing or
extremely resistant to temperature changes. In
city streets, the UHPC®Phalt surface does not
lose its properties even after years of continuous traffic.
So there should be enough reasons to use this
surface on high-speed racetracks and street
circuit racetracks.

Technical advantages of UHPC®Phalt

    - Very high wear resistant
    - Very high pressure resistant
    - Extreme low material deformation
    - Constant temperature resistance
       from - 60°C/-76°F - +90°C/+194°F
    - Very simple and fast installation
    - Very short curing times
    - Can be laid on asphalt concrete or
       similar substrates
    - Installation with standard laying
       machines
    - Cheap material costs
    - Extremely long durability
    - Very high corrosion resistant
    - Variable surface design
    - Variable layer thicknesses

    1. Your asphalt UHPC is really excellent but do you really want to offer the material for Formula 1? Although the race tracks would last forever especially the city race tracks but as far as I know there is a company that has almost the monopoly on Formula 1 track coverings.

      1. I know which company supplies the linings for the Formula 1 racing circus. But I also know the quality of our asphalt linings and that they have been used for more than twenty years in areas that the racing surface could only withstand for a short time. Of course, I also know that the requirements in Formula 1 are different but that we could meet without any problems. But there are not only Formula 1 race tracks worldwide. If someone asked us, we would definitely have the right material for the right price.
