Silverstone Circuit, Mobile Mapping, LiDAR Survey, Track Resurfacing Survey

Silverstone Circuit Resurface 2019

We have carried out surveys at the world famous circuit for over 25 years, and since our purchase of a Leica Geosystems Pegasus2 we have mobile mapped the circuit many times for resurfacing works and 3D virtualisation.

For the 2019 resurfacing that was carried out by Tarmac and Dromo the Italian track designers, we carried out mobile mapping and static scanning at all stages before during and after the project. We worked to very tight timescales and to demanding tolerances set by Dromo, which we achieved by using cutting edge LIDAR technology and by pre-installing a huge amount of highly accurate dimensional control.

Following each track scan the data was given to Dromo to compare with their design model and all corrections fed into the Topcon machine control systems to enable the smoothest surface at each stage of the asphalt laying process. We had one very memorable lap a couple of hours after F1 qualifying on the Saturday, much of the crowd had gone but there was still a great atmosphere as we drove round albeit somewhat slower than the F1 lap record!

It was a pleasure to collaborate with the design and construction team together with Silverstone Circuit themselves.
