BITAFAL group was present at the CONEXPO held in Las Vegas between 7 and 11 March.

This fair, like BAUMA, brings together the most important players in the global construction. Participated more than 128,000 people toured the latest technological developments that about 2800 exhibitors in 230,000 m2 deployed exposure.

The highlights of this edition were the use of drones for various applications such as photogrammetry for cubing of aggregates and surface survey along with the growing use of telematics equipment.

The use of 3D printers for building both infrastructure and equipment was also present in this edition. Another increasingly technological tool is accessible automation equipment, guided by sensors and GPS.

In addition about 150 education sessions including asphalt, aggregates, concrete, earthmoving, mining, utilities and more were made.

The presence of large numbers of colleagues and friends at the fair Uruguayan encourages us because it shows desire to innovate, invest and grow. Our road ahead is still long and it is good to know that many of us accompany this development.

As for existing defects, they are very specific and easily solvable. Specifically, the final stretch of about 900 m which took place near the very long winter we suffered in 2016, the arid fell off prematurely, leaving an excess content asphalt surface coinciding with the existing tracks in the driveway.

To rehabilitate recently decided that surface making a chip seal 5 to 14 mm in traces low emulsion and then placed on the same day with the chiping aggregate 5-10 mm across the width of the road and the corresponding irrigation emulsion fog BITAFLEX IRRIGATION 65 P40 D prepared with hard asphalts.

In this way it was possible to correct the existing rutting, excess asphalt surface was controlled and good macrotexture and a uniform finish with the rest of the section made last year was achieved.

We invite you to watch the pictures chiping status and recent stretch made.

Flywheels Association of Uruguay (Auvo) BITAFAL Group relied on for supplying the modified asphalt AM3 being used as surface layer in the recent remodeling Speedway Victor Borrat Fabini El Pinar.

After several years it has been able to realize this dream that has had the support of several national companies and a very large effort by the Auvo policy.

Bitafal: new technologies to improve Caminería

The original work on Auvo, consisting in shaping the subgrade delivered, laying and compaction of ballast (this customer supplied) and the execution of a road surface 7cm thick with modified asphalt. Due to the high demands on surface finish is executed variant that is offered.

Soil movement, was conducted by Domingo De Vitta, with sand instead. Then after some adjustment of the executive project, we proceeded to the laying and compaction of granular material. It came from Cantera Casil of La Paz, supplied by the customer as mentioned.

With respect to the particle size in the first layer it wore its 12% natural sand with 5-14mm starting stone powder crushing Quarries Montevideo, with a percentage of 5.2% asphalt. The it wearing however, was performed without natural aggregates and with the addition of 1% lime. The optimum asphalt AM3 stood at 5.4%

The company had acquired a sonic level and another to copy the granular base which was carefully completed and controlled. The fit with soil and planted the seed back will be at 4.00 meters wide and around the inside of the loop with some minor requirement to prevent sand entering the track.

We congratulate everyone involved for the great work done.
