Reconstructing Ford Motor Company's high-speed, five-mile long parabolic track meant removal and on-site crushing of the 8-inch thick reinforced concrete pavement overlaid with 8-inches of bituminous pavement. Ajax utilized the recycled concrete as an aggregate base course for the track and the recycled bituminous pavement for the shoulder sections. Additional challenges included an outside point reach of 32 degrees, one-fourth of the track transitioning from straight to high-banked parabolic sections, and stringent specifications for ride quality and skid resistance.
If you’ve flown ‘in or out’ of Michigan or Florida, there’s a solid chance you’ve experienced our work firsthand. The same goes for many of the roads and highways in the midwest. Even if you don’t think you’ve driven on our work, there’s a good possibility the safety, drivability, and performance of your vehicle was tested on one of the many test tracks we developed for Ford, GM, and other manufacturers. Even NASCAR® trusts our quality results for their high-spec precision tracks. When we say ‘The Future is Riding on Ajax’... we mean it. Since 1951, we’ve had our hands in some of the most demanding and challenging paving jobs in the Midwest. We’re proud of the work we do and continue to operate guided by the same principles set in place by our founder Herb Jacob; Quality, Safety, and Productivity.
