INAUGURATION OF ROUTE 6

We accompanied Grinor-Saceem in the inauguration of works on route 6.

On June 10, the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works inaugurated the rehabilitation works of 25 km of Route 6, between Arroyo Mansavillagra and the Route 14 bypass, in the department of Florida.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by the President of the Republic Luis Lacalle Pou, Minister José Luis Falero and other high national and departmental authorities. The Bitafal management team was present, accompanying the Grinor company that relies on the reliable supply of emulsions, asphalt as well as transportation to carry out its projects.

The work has an extension of 25 kilometers and is of great importance both for agricultural activity and for the communities of Florida and Durazno, connecting cities and towns, rural establishments, schools and other fundamental services in the area.

Drainage correction, widening of the platform, scarifying and compaction of the sub-base, patching, surfacing with granular material and stabilization of the base with Portland cement were carried out. Curing and adhesion irrigations were carried out with Bitafal Riego 65 emulsion as well as placement of a 7 cm thick asphalt layer with AC-30 asphalt. In addition, vertical and horizontal signs were placed and additional work was carried out in Capilla del Sauce, in the section between kilometers 181.8 and 182.4.

The opportunity was favorable for the meeting with the MTOP representatives, deepening the excellent institutional relations achieved and planning new works that will be carried out in the coming months, to together improve Uruguay's road network.

WE CELEBRATE OUR ANNIVERSARY!

40 years in the Chemical Industry of Uruguay

Last June 19, in Bitafal we lived a day of celebration. We celebrate 40 years of uninterrupted work in the Uruguayan industry that forged the BITAFAL of today, resilient, committed, innovative and sustainable. That is why all of us who make up the company came together to celebrate, remembering the milestones that mark the history that we were building together.

With the directors and founders of the company Claudio and Diego Kröger at the helm, and with the participation of many protagonists of those times, we review the evolution of the company in its different stages, its growth, the incorporation of technology, until reaching the today, where the challenges are increasingly important and project us into the future.

The day served to share a moment of joy, with music, pizzas, chivitos, photos and anecdotes, everything that reinforces the team spirit that we build every day among all of us who are part of the company. And it was also conducive to highlighting a set of values and principles, the same ones that decades ago led us to open the path that we happily travel today. To everyone who makes it possible, thank you very much!

BITAFAL organized a high-level forum on “Sustainable Roads”

Sustainability is a concept strongly incorporated into our vision and our actions. For this reason, within the framework of the 3rd Sustainable Uruguay Expo of the Ministry of the Environment, we organized a forum to analyze from many different angles the progress that our industry has been registering in this regard.

The event, held at the Antel Arena, with the presence of the Undersecretary of the Environment Gerardo Amarilla and a prominent panel of specialists made up of the National Director of Roads Hernán Ciganda, the Director of Environmental Planning of the Ministry of the Environment Silvana Martínez, the expert in roads of the Chamber of Construction Juan Echeverz and the Technical Director of BITAFAL Santiago Kröger.

As a trigger for reflection, the Bitafal team presented a video made by Artificial Intelligence, where the connection between the world of road construction, the environment and sustainable management was raised.

Subsequently, and before an audience made up of business and public representatives of the sector, technicians and students, the panelists advanced on the different aspects linked to sustainability in road construction. The recycling of construction materials on the routes themselves, the use of asphalt mixtures at lower temperatures and techniques with asphalt emulsions, as well as the incorporation of problematic waste from other industries, such as glass sand, vehicle tires or steel slag. , are elements that are already used in Uruguayan road production, in a process that has been growing in recent years and of which Bitafal is a prominent protagonist.
