NEW SEALS SEALING COLD - BITAFLEX PU

CITEVI has developed a new joint sealant applied cold and has high durability and strength.

Sealant Bitaflex PU is a liquid sealant at room temperature in black, of two components formulated with asphalt and polyurethane elastomers which cure when mixed to form a very strong self-leveling material of high elongation properties and good toughness, weathering and as a wide variety of chemicals such as fuels and oils.

It can be used for waterproof sealing of high strength and adhesion in cracks and control joints and expansion in concrete floors (roads, warehouses, factories, etc.) as well as for expansion joints in bridges.

Among the advantages of this new sealant we include:

It is applied at room temperature without heating.
exceptional elongation, tolerates the movement of joints.
Weatherproof, extraordinary resistance to rain and sunlight.
Resistant to chemical attack.
It maintains its properties (adhesion and elasticity) for a long time indoors or outdoors.
Once cured resists continuous immersion in water and other substances.
Release allows traffic in less than 2 hours.
Fragua rapidly throughout its thickness, even in deep joints.

Its presentation is in metal pails of 20 kg. Tests were conducted on some bridges and the Port of La Paloma with very good results, we attach images below.

AUC HAS NEW HEADQUARTERS

More spacious, comfortable and bright, the new headquarters of the Uruguayan Association of Roads will allow greater flexibility and frequency of activities thereof.

The new location has a large conference room that can hold about 100 seated people. In turn, easily storable furniture was acquired that allows for training and postgraduate courses for up to 50 participants. The facilities are complemented by a meeting room, an office, a kitchen with a dining room and bathrooms. We congratulate the Association and its Board of Directors for the change made and we wish an excellent use of the headquarters. The address is Wilson Ferreira Aldunate 1322 Of. 202 and the phone +598 29009412.

On 29 July with the presence of about 50 members of the Ordinary General Assembly of the AUC who officiated in turn as opening the property acquired was performed. A new feature this year is the realization Technical Diploma in roadworks will feature 8 modules to perform during this year and next year and aims training of technical staff at work. For more information about the Diploma (https://www.auc.com.uy/event/curso-topografia-diploma-de-tecnico-en-obras-viales/). In turn he appeared to Uruguay as a possible future site of the XXI IBWC to be held in the year 2021, an event that will be confirmed in the coming months and keep you informed.

PERFORMANCE OF ASPHALT MODIFIED HIGH

the thesis of Ignacio Kröger Engineers and Carlos Pfeiff on the performance of highly modified asphalts (HiMA) was recently introduced.

Last July 4th fought against the Ing. Magdalena Pastorini, Ing. Arturo Forteza and Lic. Laura Luzuriaga with the final thesis which took more than eight months of intense work on a comparative study between the Hima the AM3 and AC30.

In this thesis several technical papers to be presented at the 12th Congress of the Road Uruguaya and in the XX IBWC to be held in November in Mexico are released. Moreover it is performing a scaling himâ asphalt plant are preparing the experimental sections to assess their field performance in the long term.

FIRST TRANCHE OF ASPHALT IN URUGUAY HiMA

the first experimental section using highly modified asphalt (HiMA) was performed in Uruguay

The new highly modified asphalt (HiMA) developed by sion, He was executed by Necklace last August in the widening of Route 101. The section in question consists of 600 meters above prior to entering the roundabout junction Nicolich (direction Montevideo) outside lane. The aim of HIMA provide durability to asphalt, primarily because of its outstanding resistance to cracking and permanent deformation.

The original project consists of a black base with conventional AC-30 asphalt 12 cm on which a road surface with 5 cm AM3 is then applied. Colier was proposed, with the approval of the MTOP, 600 m replace the AC-30 HIMA of which 300 m in thickness was reduced to 10 cm (17% reduction).

Asphalt (17)

And extracted with witness samples of the asphalt plant will proceed to perform tests of dynamic modulus, and fatigue loaded in four-point beam wheel. With structural package information and research, it will proceed to use mechanistic empirical design programs, such as BackViDe (IMAE) to predict their behavior.

We appreciate the confidence Colier MTOP and apply technology to allow himâ for the first time on our roads. The research results will be presented at the XII Congress of the Road Uruguaya on 25, 26 and 27 September and the XX IBWC Mexico 25-29 November.

CHILDREN'S DAY IN BARRIO COLONIA Nicolich

28 August 2019
in: Community,Bitafal group,News,Social responsability

Friday August 16 Garden # 293 and CAIF Fraternity of Colonia Nicolich, celebrated the day of the child with games, shows and gift-giving.

GROUP BITAFAL She was present with the donation of toys and learning materials with the collaboration of employees and the company who collected and delivered gifts to 120 children from the CAIF FraternityAnd for 222 children of the 293 Garden Cologne Nikolich.

A beautiful delivery experience, dedication and above all the satisfaction and gratitude of children, teachers and principals who welcomed us so warmly.

Special thanks and congratulations to the entire team of Bitafal Group who are committed to the proposed actions for children early childhood in our neighborhood, so I joined efforts to collect toys and money for the purchase of recreational materials - teaching.
