Together with Bomag, United Tractors Participated in Completing the Construction of the Mandalika Circuit
Officially announced in November 2021, the Mandalika circuit is ready to host world-class racing events. Starting with the World SBK on November 2021, the MotoGP 2022 will also be held next March 2022. Located in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, the circuit is named Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit.
This international class circuit is built on 1,035.67 hectares, with a circuit length of 4.31 km and has a total of 17 bends consisting of 11 right-hand corners and six left-hand corners. Around the circuit, there are spectator stands that can accommodate around 150,000 to 200,000 people. It consists of a grandstand seating capacity of more than 50,000 seats and standing stands that accommodate up to 138,000 spectators.
The construction of an international circuit requires specific materials and equipment. According to the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation, the Mandalika Circuit uses an asphalt technology called Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA). SMA is an asphalt mixture used to coat the top surface of the asphalt. The goal is to strengthen the structure of the surface layer with the principle of stone by stone so that the surface is very flat. SMA also has a high penetration power so that the racer does not easily slip when the circuit conditions are wet due to rain.
During the development process, the use of SMA asphalt certainly needs to be balanced by using the best asphalting tools. Therefore, United Tractors and Bomag support the construction of the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit by presenting world-class asphalting equipment. The participating products are Bomag Asphalt Finisher, Tandem Roller, and Pneumatic Tire Roller.
Bomag Asphalt Finisher BF800 C
The asphalting circuit process requires an even finish and high asphalt density. For this reason, United Tractors presents the Bomag Asphalt Finisher BF800 C for the asphalt laying process. Bomag BF800 C can spread asphalt up to 800 tons/hour. This tool is equipped with the heaviest basic screed in its class with a width of 6 m and can be extended up to 10 m with an additional screed extension. With these specifications, the asphalting results on the Mandalika Circuit will be more optimal because the Bomag BF800 C is also equipped with magmalife technology for faster and more even heating of the screed. In addition, this product also has other excellent features such as a larger and longer hopper, a quick coupling system, and a side view.
Bomag Heavy Tandem Roller BW161AD-4
After the asphalt is levelled, the next step is to compact the asphalt. The right product for this process is the Bomag Heavy Tandem Roller BW161AD-4. With an operating weight of 10 tons and a working width of 1.68 meters, this product is very suitable for compaction of all types of asphalt layers. With a powerful 134 HP engine, this product has high efficiency and productivity.
Bomag Pneumatic Tired Roller BW 24 RH
The last step of the asphalting process for the Mandalika Circuit is the asphalt surface finishing, which is optimally completed using the Bomag Pneumatic Tired Roller BW 24 RH. This product has an engine power of 100.4 HP with a working width of 2.1 meters, while the maximum operating weight can reach up to 24 tons. You can use this product in various work areas to get the compaction results as needed. The part of the tire on this product serves to compact and close the pores of the asphalt surface to make the asphalt layer waterproof.
