When some of the world’s top drivers go under starters orders at the 2012 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, this July, give a thought to the hard working team at HBPW in Retford!
We’ve played a major part in developing the new pit and paddock complex (pictured) which now houses 41 team garages, a media centre, hospitality suites, the race control centre and, of course, the winner’s podium.
HBPW acted as Civil / Structural engineers for main contractor, the Buckingham Group and, as well as the buildings on the famous straight between Club Corner and Abbey – our team of experts worked on external paddock hard standings, the energy centre, pit lanes and circuit and pit lane retaining / safety crash walls.
Any Grand Prix nuts out there? We have one, Helen Haynes and she challenges any of you to find the following top drivers in our blog photo! You are looking for Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button and Mark Webber. She assures us they’re all in there!
