GROUP OF PAVING EXPO BITAFAL PARTICIPATED
From day 27 to August 29 was held the Expo & Conference Paving South America, in San Pablo.
Pavement recycling with rejuvenating emulsions, micropavimentos high performance membranes antireflection thin cracks. These are some of the titles of the talks that were presented last August in the Paving Expo&Conference San Pablo, where we had the pleasure to attend.
The note then delves into the most relevant topics of the event that will mark the future of sustainable techniques in our region.
This conference consisted of workshops specific technologies where the field specialists unveiled the latest advances in products and application techniques. During the three days of Congress they were presented about 2300 and about 8800 people attended the various workshops.
Among the most relevant topics, deep recycling with emulsion can be highlighted. This technique, which is becoming more important every day, was explained in detail by experienced professionals, such as Tim O'Connell of Ingevity. Among the benefits that it highlights is first of all the fact that a recycled emulsion base provides superior strength and flexibility that minimizes rutting, fatigue and thermal cracks. Likewise, it is a cost-effective method where all the stone and asphalt material is recovered. For his part, Jorge Escalante from TDM commented on the Peruvian experience with this technique on a high-traffic highway in his country.

Sustainable techniques mentioned above that in the past were not taken into consideration for technical and economic reasons, they are stomping the region. It was clear from the conference view is set to more sustainable alternatives where bet to improve the bases and very durable thin layers which are applied as rolling.
We thank our friends Betunel e Ingevity for kindly inviting us to the event. For those interested in updating their knowledge on these issues, the next edition will be held in the 1 to 3 September 2020.
