Facts About GBI Circuit Construction

In constructing GBI Circuit

4 million cubic ton of Earth was moved

325000 tons of asphalt was used

130000 metric cube of concrete was used

450 km of fiber optic cables was used

Site Specifications

A main Grand Stand

10 temporary stands to seat more than 100000 cheering enthusiasts

3 story cantilever building with 41 garages

A race control room

A state art of media center to cater more than 600 media person

18 fully furnished team buildings

In October 2009 Earthwork was

started to build the track.

Earth to a layer of 25cm was compacted to a degree of 97% to

make an embankment which will not sink

In July 2010 Project Came to Halt

Due to Nature’s Furry

In Oct 2010 Project Geared Up Asphalt Specialist Dr.Rainer Hart joined the project to construct the

race track

To construct the race track an aggregate with high resistance

against polishing by tires of race cars was required

The aggregate was exported from nearly 300km far from the

construction site

Construction of Race trackThe graders were rolled out and the compactors were brought in to

begin work of first two layers of track.

The race track was built in five layers:

1st Layer: 25cm Granular Sub Base

2nd Layer:20 cm wet mix macadam

3rd Layer:9cm asphalt base coarse (to Withstand with heavy

forces)

4th Layer:5cm binder coarse (to endure the shearing forces from

fast running cars)

5th layer :4cm wear-in coarse(asphalt paved over a bind coarse to

complete the track)

A mixing plant was set near 5km away to produce the asphalt mix.

Mix production temp.-165-170 degree Celsius

Temp. after reaching paver-150 degree Celsius

Temp.at which the asphalt mix was compacted-135 degree Celsius

To achieve evenness along the surface of track a special pavers and workers was brought from

Germany to India.

Construction of Main Grand Stand

Foundation of man grand stand was completely

water logged. So the first task in constructing it was to pump

that water.

After Pumping water the structure of man grand stand was build

from concrete and steelThe main grand stand has :

A height of 30mts

Length of 138mts=4 x Length of a football field

56 trusses weighing 40 metric ton each

40 mts cantilever roof with 50000 square meters of insulated aluminum

sheeting

Sheeting of RoofAluminum sheets was chosen for roofing the man grand stand due tro

its durability flexibly and light weight.

50000 square meter aluminum sheets of .9cm thickness and 55m length

was used for roofing the main grand stand.

Integrated Race control

management system

150km Of fiber optical cables and 450km 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 signaling system

Electronic time keeping system

50 race track cameras

33 marshal post

32 digiflags

SafetyCrash barriers of latest technology are employed in circuit to ensure

safety of the race car drivers as well as other people present in the

circuit.

TecPro barriers replacing the tire barriers are employed n the circuit

Nearly 2000 barriers along with 10km guard rail 15km FIA fencing and

16km U-drain has been provided in the track.

About TecPro BarriersThe TECPRO barriers is made from the rotational moulding of flexible polyethylene as follows. Dimensions

(cm) : 150 L x 120 h x 60 w. Weighs :120kg 3 nylon straps of 15 cm with resistance of up to 20T/cm2. The

barrier is filled with injected 'bendy' foam of flexible density. A metallic sheet is placed at the centre

which reinforces the barrier.

The main advantages of using TECPRO Barrier are:

Maximum amount of energy absorption.

Does not collapse upon impact.

Cannot be over-ridden by F1 car (test 218 km/h).

Reduction of impact 'G' force.

Ease of installation

Cost effective maintenance.

On September 1,2011 the Gautam Buddha international circuit got the clearance from FIA under the inspection of Charlie Whitting to

host international motorsports events and hosted Indian Grand Pix

F1 Racing tournament in October 2011.
