PROTAGONISTS OF THE “SUSTAINABLE ROUTES” PROJECT ON ROUTE 9
Unpublished experience in the country together with the construction company Traxpalco
“From now on, when you enter Route 9, you will be entering the path of sustainability” announces the radio mention that presents the Sustainable Routes project. The fact is that the construction project of the double road that connects the cities of Pan de Azúcar and Rocha was much more than a construction project: it was the opportunity to incorporate all the sustainability concepts available in our country, applied to road construction.
At BITAFAL we contribute to the project the sustainable asphalt AM3 MAX, a product that is applied at a lower temperature, drastically reducing CO2 emissions, and that is produced in our plant powered by 100% renewable energy. Added to this is the great contribution of the construction company Traxpalco, responsible for the construction of the double track, which incorporated other substantial elements, such as fauna passages, the replacement of native flora affected by the work and the work with the local communities in the area.
The project had the support of the authorities of the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works and the Ministry of the Environment, who understood the importance of incorporating the concept of sustainability into road construction, taking care of the environmental heritage in projects so necessary for the productive development of the country. “Sustainable Routes” is integrated into the actions of the United Nations Global Compact, contributing to the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Communication played a substantial role in the launch of the project, informing through the media the scope of this unprecedented experience and committing the users of the route to responsible use of it and the environment that surrounds it. At BITAFAL we encourage that the Sustainable Routes project be replicated in future road construction projects.
