IAV is one of the worl­d’s lea­ding engi­nee­ring part­ners to the auto­mo­ti­ve indus­try. IAV and the respon­si­ble con­s­truc­tion com­pa­ny Gold­beck brought the P&K Flo­o­ring­group into the team for a new crash faci­li­ty in Ingol­stadt. The chall­enge: The 6.40 m wide and 200 m long test track had to be leve­led in such a way that the dif­fe­rence in height over the enti­re sur­face was a maxi­mum of 2 mm.

An immense chall­enge when you con­sider that the cur­vat­u­re of the earth alo­ne accounts for a height dif­fe­rence of 1.6 mm over a length of 200 m. The result of the P&K appli­ca­ti­on more than satis­fied ever­yo­ne invol­ved: Start­ing from a devia­ti­on of +18 mm to ‑12 mm, we achie­ved a maxi­mum height dif­fe­rence of +/- 2 mm, 90% of which was only +/- 1 mm.

We nee­ded just 2.5 weeks for all the work steps, i.e. mil­ling the high points with the pre­cis­i­on fine mil­ling machi­ne, rough leve­ling of the reces­ses, fine leve­ling to the finis­hed level and the final con­trol mea­su­re­ment.
