Bennett On-Site Services and Bennett Motor Express have completed a complex infrastructure build for the inaugural Java House Grand Prix of Arlington in Texas.

Working across downtown Arlington, crews transformed a 2.73-mile route into a race-ready circuit linking areas around AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field. The scope included installing pedestrian bridges, grandstands, pit lane suites and key spectator areas across the 14-turn track.

One of the most critical lifts involved positioning the Horseshoe Club seating structure over Turn 7. Using a Grove GMK7550 and a Grove GMK6300L in tandem, crews lifted the 202,000-pound structure with precision despite challenging wind conditions.

While crane operations progressed during the day, BME teams worked overnight to transport and install more than 2,800 concrete barriers and over 200 fencing racks. Dedicated logistics coordination ensured smooth execution while minimising disruption to the city.

“The infrastructure behind a street race of this calibre requires partners who can operate at the highest level,” said Jonathan Bailey of Penske Entertainment.

Following the event, both teams returned to dismantle the temporary structures and restore the city.
