Case study + video: 'Icelandic drag race track gets sleek new road surface with SmoothRide'

The car club has been around for nearly 50 years, has become a staple of the national racing calendar and attracts thousands of visitors each year. Therefore, the owners found it necessary to have the 402-meter drag race track refurbished. Because the new road surface had to be installed as efficiently, but also as smoothly as possible, the contractor used Topcon Positioning Group's SmoothRide solution in the implementation.

'Seamless and precise'

Oliver Gustáfsson of Verkfæri ehf, the Topcon dealer in Iceland: "The SmoothRide concept covers everything from scanning and design to laying the asphalt. This allowed us to carry out the entire project seamlessly and without problems. The solution is not only super accurate, it also provides an estimate of the volumes needed, which is a huge advantage when ordering asphalt and managing the project."
