      @@AaronWitt Awesome I grew up and lived near their Main headquarters in Michigan seen them grow to be the largest commercial Asphalt and Concrete construction companies here they do all the paving for Dans Excavating the largest civil and earthmoving construction company in Michigan. Ajax and Dans have done various huge projects here ie Detroit Metropolitan Airport Runways, Interstate 75 & 275, etc pretty awesome to watch them mobilize, execute pave then demobilize all their equipment, labor, etc including batch plants in such short time frames especially on their Airport and Highway projects where contractors will be hit with financial penalties when exceeding the project deadlines. Hope to see some great project videos from them and thanks for all you do promoting our industry including solutions for the challenges we face in the Construction field.

      there is probably less then a dozen companies that can make tracks to f1 tolerance, I bet most of the companies in the south east specialize in paving banking. With the amount of problems the drivers had with Miami last year, the FIA might have made their choice simply based on experience.

    When you have to be invited to bid because most contractors have never even seen a print spec sheet like this in their dreams let alone reality. I'm sure the other contractors who didn't win still framed the invite letter and have it listed on their resume.
    Also, that poor service guy is probably absolutely murding his mobile data plan being on standby the whole time with spares packed in the wings
    that operation is so tight that Thor could smoke any single machine there with a random bolt of lightning and it would only take an hour to get back on track.
