Site Specification
10. Project Execution
Plan
1. Acquisition of land
2. Construction of roads
3. Construction of first layer of circuit
4. Construction of stadium
5. Construction of pit zones
6. Construction of second layer of circuit
7. Construction of medical building
8. Construction of final layer of circuit
12. Work process
In October 2009 Earthwork was started
to build the track
Earth to a layer of 25 cm were compacted to a degree of
97% to make an embankment which will not sink
13. In July 2010 Project came to Halt Due to
Nature’s Furry
14. In Oct 2010 Project Geared Up
• Asphalt Specialist Dr Rainer Hart joined the project to construct
the race track
• A high polishing aggregate was required for preventing tire
damage on high speed
• The aggregate was exported from nearly 300 km far from
constructing site
15. Construction of Race track
The race track was built in five layers :
1st
layer : 25 cm granular sub base
2nd
layer : 20 cm wet macadam
3rd
layer : 9 cm asphalt base coarse ( to withstand ith heavy forces)
4th
layer : 5 cm binder coarse ( to endure the shearing forces from fast running cars)
5th
layer : 4 cm wear in coarse ( asphalt paved over a bind coarse to complete the track)
16. Construction of main grand stand
Foundation of main grand stand was completely water logged. So the first task in constructing it was to
pump that water.
After pumping water the structure of main grand stand was build from concrete and steel
The main grand stand has :
A height of 30 m
Length of 138 m
56 trusses weighing 40 metric ton each
40 m cantilever roof with 50000 square meters of
insulated aluminium sheeting
17. Aluminium sheets were chosen for roofing the main
grand stand due to its durability flexibility and
light weight.
50000 square meter aluminium sheets of 0.9 cm
thickness and 55 m length were used for roofing
the main grand stand.
18. 150 km of fiber optical cables and 450 km of data and electric cables were spread beneath
the track connecting various hi-tech equipment to control room.
This includes :
Real time video surveillance of race track
Digital signalling system
Electronic time keeping system
50 race track cameras
33 marshal post
32 digiflags
19. Crash barriers of latest technology are employed in circuit to
ensure safety of the each car drivers as well as other people
present in the circuit.
Tec-Pro barriers replacing the tire barriers are employed in
the circuit
Nearly 2000 barriers along with 10 km guard rail 15 km FIA
fencing and 16 km U-drain has been provided in the track
