THE WORKS CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY

We share a summary of the latest construction inaugurations during the past summer

Route 8 and 11 interchange

The MTOP continues to bet heavily on investment in roads and bridges. The results are in sight and the inaugurations bear witness to that commitment. We share some of those made during the summer season.

In December, the new interchange on Route 8 and 11 was inaugurated together with the doubling of the road in the Route 11 section and the Soca Toll by the company COLIER S.A. The works continue to Route 9 and its inauguration is expected by the end of this year. The qualification of this new section of the double track of Route 8 will work as an alternative for the traffic that goes to the East of the country, thus relieving the Interbalnearia Route. Grupo BITAFAL supplied the conventional and modified asphalts as well as the emulsions for a large part of this work.

Double track on Route 3

Also in December, 25 kilometers of double track were inaugurated on Route 3, between Routes 1 and 11, part of the Grupo San José PPP that is carrying out the work. A total of approximately 142,000 tons of asphalt mix were executed with the highest laying technology, achieving an IRI of less than 1 throughout the section, being the work with the best result obtained in said parameter. Grupo BITAFAL participated in the project by supplying the modified asphalts for the execution of said sections.

Centenary Bridge

In January the Centennial Bridge was inaugurated with the presence of the President of the Republic. The bridge built by SACEEM S.A. It is 550 meters long, made up of 22 25-meter sections over the Río Negro and was built simultaneously with the north and south accesses of Route 5, as well as the interchange to the UPM plant with an investment of 11 million dollars. . Grupo BITAFAL supplied the anchored joints of said bridge as well as the asphalt products that make up the road surface.

Subsequently, the inauguration of Routes 43 and 59 was carried out, which are part of the mesh around the forest area that will supply wood for the new UPM plant and that will receive a lot of vehicle traffic once the new Picada Oribe Bridge is enabled. In all these works Grupo BITAFAL assists with asphalt emulsions for their correct execution.

By Pass Ruta 6 y 14

In February, the Bypass was inaugurated at the intersection of routes 6 and 14 towards Sarandí del Yí, culminating with the works of the PPP CV3 of route 14 that go from the city of Mercedes to Sarandí del Yí and that we had the pleasure of supplying. all modified asphalts and emulsions for its construction.

The By Pass to Sarandí del Yí, was drawn up in elevation in order to guarantee that the entire stretch will not be flooded, preventing the town from being cut off.

The Bitaseal prevents the detachment of aggregates, seals the surface and provides an adequate macrotexture for a track with high demands.

The Intendance of Rivera completed the planned interventions on the Eduardo P. Cabrera International Raceway which has a total extension of 3,080 m.

The test sections executed last year, as we reported in our Bulletin No. 139, withstood the demands of national races and various dates of the Brazilian championship with success, for which it was applied to the entire track last February.

We share some images where you can see the quality of the work carried out, ensuring a waterproofing and homogenization of the surface as well as better performance in terms of slip resistance. In addition, the process of deterioration of the asphalt folders due to detachment of the coarse aggregate is stopped.

Through the self-propelled equipment that we specially designed for this product, it is possible to achieve yields of over 8,000 m2 per day. With good weather, the product cures in a few hours and it is feasible to enable traffic in the same day.

Our goal of being an increasingly sustainable company gains strength with the changes we are implementing.

With the inauguration of the photovoltaic solar energy generation plants last year, we began the path of electrifying our operations and we anticipate an expansion of the generation park for this year.

We already have the first thermal fluid boiler that will allow us to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and there are two more on the way to consolidate the objective. At the same time, we are incorporating electric vehicles into our utility fleet together with high-efficiency chargers to take advantage of the energy generated.

By the end of this year, we hope to double the photovoltaic solar power generation capacity at both plants and thus meet our energy efficiency and sustainability goal.
