Utilising a full range of design, mapping, variable milling, survey and paving machine control technology to transform city streets into a Formula 1 race track. For the second year running, Singapore contractor United E&P is tasked with preparing the racetrack for the country’s upcoming Formula 1 race in September. Unlike many cities that utilise existing race circuits, Singapore transforms some of the city streets into race car-worthy surfaces in a matter of days, shutting down roads for the shortest periods possible to minimise impact to residents, visitors and traffic.
