The Group, made up of the companies Serviam, CVC, Interagrovial, plans to duplicate the road in the section of Route 3 between Routes 1 and 11, and the construction of the Route 11 bypass to the city of San José, as well as the construction of a new 400 m bridge over the San José river.

Bitafal will supply the modified asphalt and emulsions for the execution of the pavements of the work that the PPP must maintain for 20 years. For this, both the black base layers and the tread layers with modified asphalt will be made.

Last monday February 1st A construction commencement ceremony was held, with the presence of the Minister of Transportation and Public Works, Luis Alberto Heber, the undersecretary, Juan José Olaizola, and the mayor of San José, Ana Bentaberri.

An execution period of 3 years is estimated for this project, which will be financed by Grupo San José S.A. with the support of CAF, CAFAM and BROU, which amounts to USD 70 million and 20 million for the rest of the contract, destined to maintenance.

Bitafal will supply the modified asphalt type PG 70-28 for base coat and type PG 76-28 for rolling as well as modified emulsions used for bonding and accessory works. We will keep you updated on the progress of the work.

BITAFAL GROUP IS PART OF THE ISSA

We continue to expand our commitment to improving and transforming roads. As of 2021 we are part of the international committee of the most important world association for the promotion, training, education and best practices in pavement conservation technologies.os, la International Slurry Surfacing Association (ISSA).

The ISSA is the international association in charge of discussing pavement preservation technologies. It has an extensive library of technical standards, drawn mainly from extensive American experience, which assist in the design, testing, quality control, measurements and payment procedures for the application of grouts, cold microagglomerates, surface treatments and sealing of cracks. .

It is a network of more than 250 members dedicated to strengthening the industry, offering training, incorporating the latest innovations and new technologies in the preservation of pavements. The organization provides training workshops to its members and provides a space for multidisciplinary technical exchange, from the laboratory scope to on-site application. Being part of the ISSA also implies belonging to the pre (Pavement Preservation and Recycling Alliance) that has powerful online tools to manage pavements.

Our role within the association is to be able to bring all this technical and practical knowledge to the Latin American ministries, municipalities, laboratories and companies, to continue moving together the permanent improvement of our conservation works, especially in this challenging global context. We will keep you informed of more news and events in the next newsletters.

INAUGURATION OF ROUTE 104 AND ROUTE 10

The synergy between recycled cement and surface treatments show that a route can be rehabilitated at low cost with high performance and quality

Last January 28 The official inauguration of the works took place at the intersection of both routes, in front of Manantiales beach. The Minister of Transportation and Public Works, Luis Alberto Heber, the Mayor of Maldonado, Enrique Antía, the Director of Roads, Hernán Ciganda and the Directors of the company participated in the meeting.

There are several accolades that the Serviam company has received for the Capeseal that was carried out in more than 33 km of route that were rehabilitated in just 3 months. Not only for the quality of the finished work but also for the speed of execution as well as for the aesthetic and functional improvement of one of the main tourist corridors in Punta del Este.

As we discussed in the Bulletin # 118, the works on Route 104 consisted of cleaning the strip and deepening the gutters as well as the surcharge of between 15 and 20 cm of roughness that was recycled with cement along with the old existing bituminous treatment.

To control cracking, transverse cuts were made with emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFAL 65 with a team specially designed for it. The curing irrigation was carried out with Emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFAL 65 and crushing sand providing excellent adherence and a very good performance as protection of the stabilized base.

Finally, the Capeseal type paving was carried out with a simple bituminous treatment with emulsion. IRRIGATION BITAFLEX 65 P40 and a cold micro-agglomerate with emulsion BITAFLEX MICRO 62 P25

A roundabout was made at a black point on the route and all the signage was renewed by applying highly durable thermoplastic paint, studs and highly reflective signage.

The section of Route 10 from 104 to the entrance to José Ignacio was recycled in 15 cm with Portland cement and then Capeseal as a tread layer.

Both routes achieved an improvement in roughness and slip resistance, as well as a finish similar to asphalt pavement with great contrast to the signage, which translates into improvements in road safety. In addition, an important structural improvement was made that will allow a high durability of the rehabilitated sections.
