A 2395 Wirtgen W210 milling machine has played an important role in improving a race track in the UK. Specialist contractor Jordan Road Surfacing used the machine to help finish a major refurbishment at Mallory Park race circuit on budget and a week early. Championship motorcycle races began at the Midlands' premier race venue last month after resurfacing of the 2.25km track that organisers say will see lap times tumble for the 2011 season. Some 3,000tonnes of surfacing material was laid, overall. The results are said to be good and racers who have tried the track say that the surface is smoother than the old and has a lot more grip.

The W210 is an innovative machine powered by twin engines and features a 2.2m wide milling drum. The machine can be tailored to suit conditions and has three selectable milling drum speeds, suiting large-scale surface course rehabilitation, complete pavement removal at full depth or fine milling. Other features include automatic parallel alignment, intelligent track drive control to maximise traction, and Wirtgen's proprietary Widrive machine management and Level Pro levelling systems.

    Sophisticated dual layer paving technologies currently on the market are said to offer major advantages to road builders.

Contractors and clients also stand to gain from savings on materials costs, through the elimination of the need for emulsion spraying between binder and wearing courses and with the use of thin layer wearing course designs.
