Harsco Environmental Supports Australian Racetrack Projects
08 Dezember 2022 - 2:00PM
Harsco Corporation (NYSE: HSC), a global market leader providing
environmental solutions for industrial and specialty by-products,
announced today that its Harsco Environmental division has
supported two recent Australian racetrack resurfacing projects by
providing electric arc furnace (EAF) aggregate derived from steel
slag.
Melbourne: Starting in 2020,
the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, iEDM and Formula 1® embarked
on an extensive renovation project at the Albert Park Circuit, home
to the Australian Grand Prix, including the first resurfacing of
the racetrack since 1996. Working with Downer Group, Harsco tested
asphalt mixes with different proportions of EAF aggregate material
to meet the precise project specifications. Ultimately, Harsco
provided 10mm and 14mm aggregate, and the asphalt mix improved grip
and abrasion, resulting in more competitive racing conditions. The
project was completed in advance of the Australian Grand Prix in
April 2022.
Adelaide: Following the success
of the Melbourne project, iEDM approached Harsco to provide EAF
aggregate for a resurfacing project for the Adelaide Street
Circuit, which was the site of the 2022 VALO Adelaide 500 Supercars
race in December.
“We were very happy with the steel slag
durability, affinity for bitumen and outstanding shape,” said
Michael Gardner, Associate Director, iEDM. “Both micro and macro
texture were important metrics for the mix design, and we felt that
inclusion of the steel slag assisted in both of those categories.
Increased grip, abrasion and tyre degradation were all features
within the return to racing at Albert Park in 2022.”
“Together with our stakeholders, we have worked
together to develop innovative EAF mixes that meet the precise
specifications for these two racetrack projects,” said Andrew
Hayes, Site Manager, Harsco Environmental, Australia. “We are proud
to be part of these projects which represent advancements in
Australian Formula 1® and Supercar racing.”
