Abstract
The primary purposes of this paper are to review the special pavement design and construction
activities employed in construction of the Calabogie race track after a visual conduction survey
to the surface conditions and interaction with the operation personnel and users to verify the
performance of the track during the eight years’ service, and the effectiveness of the construction
strategies, materials and mix designs used in the asphalt paving eight years ago. It was found
that the pavement demonstrated good condition after eight years’ service including hosting
numerous racing and competition events. Special construction methods, material designs and
quality control and quality assurance procedures are the major factors contributing to the success
of the track. This paper reviews the hot mix asphalt design, and special construction techniques
employed during the construction including the project specifications, special paving techniques,
field quality control and assurance, hydrated lime application in the mix and during paving. The
review of the construction of the race track surface paving will have referential value for asphalt
paving activities in highway construction
