Sydney Motorsport Park is owned by the NSW Government and operated by the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club. It is Sydney’s only permanent racetrack, and one of just two permanent race circuit in Australia that hold a FIA/FIM Grade 2 International Licence.
The Challenge
The requirement was to upgrade Sydney’s iconic motorsport circuit, which was initially constructed for the Australian round of the Grand Prix Motorcycle championship. The primary concern was to develop a surface that could withstand racing conditions and minimise cracking.
Our Solution
After thorough analysis and collaborative discussions with the contractor, Polyfabrics proposed a solution tailored to meet the specific demands of the motorsport circuit. The chosen product was Flexiseal HD Reinforced bituminous tape, a self-adhesive membrane known for its high performance in similar conditions.
Polyfabrics’ involvement didn’t just stop at supplying the product; we also ensured proper application by demonstrating the correct installation techniques on-site. This comprehensive approach assured optimal performance of the product and satisfaction of the client.
Features and Advantages of HD Reinforced Bituminous Tape
- Waterproofing: As a waterproofing membrane, it’s particularly suitable for use in areas like bridges, and car parks, making it ideal for the motorsport park.
- Crack Prevention: Functions as a stress-relieving membrane, minimising reflection cracking for long-term durability.
- Woven Reinforced: Ensures stability and resists potential damage.
- Rubber/Bitumen Composition: Offers elasticity, bonding, and self-healing properties for minor punctures.
- Flexibility: Conforms to surface irregularities and accommodates shrinkage cracks.
- Cold Application: Simplifies the installation process as no heating is required.
- Pre-formed Rolls: Provides consistent thickness and easy handling.
