Paving WORLD FAMOUS Miami Racetrack

[@bowenike]

I would love for Witt to do a documentary on concrete with a concrete company. From sourcing and delivering the aggregate all the way through to batching and even pumping!

[@BassMaann]

Like Victory outdoor?

[@tristenklein5940]

@@BassMaann Like AJAX Paving who specializes in commercial construction Asphalt and Concrete projects, Highways, Airports, etc and whose Headquarters is in Michigan and has operations in Georgia and Florida. They also own and operate their own Asphalt and Concrete Batch Plants both Stationary and Mobile.

[@AaronWitt]

@@tristenklein5940 we had AJAX in our office a few weeks ago

[@tristenklein5940]

@@AaronWitt Awesome I grew up and lived near their Main headquarters in Michigan seen them grow to be the largest commercial Asphalt and Concrete construction companies here they do all the paving for Dans Excavating the largest civil and earthmoving construction company in Michigan. Ajax and Dans have done various huge projects here ie Detroit Metropolitan Airport Runways, Interstate 75 & 275, etc pretty awesome to watch them mobilize, execute pave then demobilize all their equipment, labor, etc including batch plants in such short time frames especially on their Airport and Highway projects where contractors will be hit with financial penalties when exceeding the project deadlines. Hope to see some great project videos from them and thanks for all you do promoting our industry including solutions for the challenges we face in the Construction field.

Didn't know Ajax was in GA

Thank you Aaron. As a die hard F1 fan and a member of the dirt world, I loved this video

[@AaronWitt]

thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

6:42 You know a company is well prepared when they bring spare equipment to cover a potential breakdown.

Im 26 years old and have done quite a few jobs from Dumping bellys, Raking, Rolling, Paver to finally running buggy done a couple military bases and and airports interstates and parking lots. Would love to one day pave a race track!

[@jimbeam2705]

Many years in big Florida road widening jobs and I hated night work. I lost more and more sleep as the week went by. Luckily I didn't do it too often. It takes a special person to do nights all of the time.

[@wolfpacva]

Glad you were able to show us how it is done.

thank you!

[@paulhicks4340]

Some of your best work yet Aaron (and crew), wish you could have stayed longer but you covered the project pretty well in my opinion. As always, keep up the good work, and stay dirty!!

[@AaronWitt]

thanks Paul!

I love asphalt!❤

[@gtpmike2000]

I believe I read about this track in asphalt contractor magazine wish you could have been there for the milling. Nice work as always favorite it for sure.😊

[@andrewsilva6856]

Congrats to Sunland for landing this job! On another note, how in the heck did any Floriday or South East Paving contractors miss out on this job lol? I guess Sunland was able to make this work mobilizing all the way from Arizona - insane!

[@oblivionfire1365]

there is probably less then a dozen companies that can make tracks to f1 tolerance, I bet most of the companies in the south east specialize in paving banking. With the amount of problems the drivers had with Miami last year, the FIA might have made their choice simply based on experience.

[@Tacos888]

[@williamtynan6484]

Great report,regarding south-east pavers,last years’ track surface wasn’t up to FIA expections,on racing line,this year knife edge of good,slightly off… leclerc crashes in Q3😅

Hey Aaron, if you ever are around the Virginia area, take a look into the new highway Branch Civil is building. It's a 330 million dollar project moving 11 million yards of dirt on the side of mountains. There's a whole bunch of cool stuff going on there.

THANK YOU Aaron ‼️

[@ernierundall1336]

Great video thank you!

[@pollarddisposal]

A 20 minute video on paving? Let’s go

[@blueman5924]

Nice episode. I wonder how this mix differs from standard roadwork ? Must be something special, to increase traction while maintaining longevity of the surface. 👍🤙

[@AaronWitt]

aggregate spec is extremely tight and so is the binder spec. At face value, it didn't look super different, but it's pricey stuff

[@CAT972]

Sure it's all virgin material. No recycled asphalt in the mix

[@astrak1001]

SBS binder, aggregate was shipped in from South Carolina if i remember correctly.

[@guyonabuffalo100]

So when do we get to see the video latest video from Reading Anthracite with there new equipment??😊

[@epilepticgaming4417]

I think that episode where you watched a crew pave an airport runway in one night is by far the coolest/craziest I’ve seen

[@manorin]

Laguna Seca in Monterey, CA is due for paving in a couple of months would love to see a paver go down the Corkscrew. Granite Construction has the contract hit them up

[@jdiggindirt]

Come back to NC and checkout ST Wooton company in the south eastern part of the state. And then DH Griffin demolished

[@tristenklein5940]

I wonder what their Mobilization Demobilization and Logistics expenditure is for this project and did they bring their own mobile batch plants, definitely not cheap.

[@AaronWitt]

they used a local batch plant

[@allyhuesen]

What kind of a batch plant was it? Can you tell or is that another one of the top secret items ... Please tell. Thanks overall for the vid though!

[@CAT972]

I was wondering that to what company made these asphalt I know there's a few good choices down that way

[@ericcarabetta1161]

*Quality Standard* Regular Asphalt Roadway - ⭐⭐1/2 Advanced Asphalt Raceway - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

fastest paver to go around the track

[@benwhitting9099]

In Michigan we call paving side by side “echelon paving”

[@allyhuesen]

the multiplex skis would've been worth a mention whence upon the Pavers part of this video. Didn't they utilize those; Wonder how you missed that?

[@jurczakc]

Oh no after practice I'm seeing reports of the new surface being really slick and coming apart in some of the corners.

[@redwhisker6425]

I think you are seeing 2022 reports. The new surface did not come apart.

[@seldoon_nemar]

When you have to be invited to bid because most contractors have never even seen a print spec sheet like this in their dreams let alone reality. I'm sure the other contractors who didn't win still framed the invite letter and have it listed on their resume. Also, that poor service guy is probably absolutely murding his mobile data plan being on standby the whole time with spares packed in the wings that operation is so tight that Thor could smoke any single machine there with a random bolt of lightning and it would only take an hour to get back on track. "oh, the paver broke down and can't drive anymore... go grab the paver dragger we brought and get it out of there!"

Maximum allowable speed was 20 fpm, they were going much slower.

[@H8er-Maker]

We were doing 12-16 fpm for the most part.

[@henrybinns8745]

Shame that despite all the care and effort from those workers, the fresh asphalt and circuit design will make the race a yawn fest, hence F1’s need to polish this turd of a weekend with a music festival and fake marina. 😂

I've been paving for 35 years. It sucks.
