RENOVATION OF FLORES ISLAND STREET

The Municipality of Montevideo occasion calls Parade decided to conduct a comprehensive conditioning Flores Island street between Zelmar Michelini and Mines (NOTE COUNTRY: 26/01/2017)

For this the company Grinor S.A. He did a reprofiling of the roadway by milling, sealed with cracks and crevices Bitaflex SA 50 and he made a general bacheo for R & K Engineers then conduct a cold microsurfacing using the emulsion Bitaflex Micro 62 P25 made with hard asphalts. It is an interesting alternative to low cost recovery for urban pavements because no pavement dimensions are affected, effectively it waterproofs and retold with proper Macrotexture.

Companies were able to successfully carry out the tasks provided within tight deadlines that had indicated the administration and could perform editing 61 Parade Calling the last on 9 and 10 February with a large number of people (some 50,000 people between them days). They marched 40 troupes should be very grateful to the work carried out since a smooth, homogeneous and excellent adhesion surface was achieved!

NEW ANDREONI CANAL BRIDGE OVER

22 February 2017
in: Canal Andreoni,News,route 9,Techint

Good progress building the bridge over the Canal Andreoni after he was seriously affected the existing bridge with heavy rains of 2016. In January, earlier than expected, soil movement for access to the new bridge began. It is expected to enable traffic on the new bridge in June 2017.

Techint invited us to attend the assembly of the prestressed beams of the new bridge over Andreoni canal at kilometer 314 of Route 9 at Spa La Coronilla. It is a bridge of 90 meters long with a roadway of 9.20 m wide and pedestrian path 2 meters wide.

Como se ve en las imágenes, son 3 tramos con 4 vigas por tramo y se demoró solamente 6 días en montarlas. Los 2 apoyos en pórticos intermedios son continuos, los pilares-pilote (de los apoyos intermedios) son de ø90cm y se utilizó una pilotera de gran porte ya que se alcanzó una profundidad de 43 m.

The beams are 29m long at the end spans and the 4 central ones measure 31.30m. They weigh 57 and 62 tons respectively. They are post-tensioned with 3 tendons of 13 cables of 0.6'' each. Two tire cranes were used, one with a 120-ton capacity and the other with a 200-ton capacity. An extensible flat was also used to transfer the beams from the precast bench to the place from which to assemble them. Interruptions to traffic on Route 9 were minimal in the height of the summer season (less than 2hrs 20 cumulative).

As for deadlines: The minutes of staking is the November 1, 2016, as it says the first sentence, is making good progress. January (10 days ahead of schedule) soil movement for access to the new bridge began. It is expected to enable traffic on the new bridge in June 2017.

SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION RECYCLING ASPHALT WITH FOAM

We can proudly say that the Uruguayan road has become unrivaled in the last five years. The design engineers have proposed and accepted new technologies, builders have art equipment incorporating the first world countries and we are encouraging, but we shake the pulse, to innovate.

Who would have thought that in our country the technologies to be introduced as modified asphalts based massively?

Who would have thought that the surface treatments and micros with modified asphalts would apply on routes first order?

Who would have thought it stabilize soils with continuous and mobile equipment was to be imposed so quickly?

Only the technical results obtained are certifying all these advances.

The most recent milestone of new technologies pushed him over the past year the company Hernández and González S.A. making a bet unmatched in his work of Route 3. Sparing no technical or economic efforts, the company conducted a site recycling pavement with asphalt foam backed administration. In last December he was terminated the reference work and drove around in full, being able to observe the same high quality in all its aspects.

an expansion platform a recycling of all of the existing road asphalt foam and asphalt mixture of 5 cm thick, several sections with widening of a third rail verges stabilized in situ with cement and waterproofed with asphaltic treatment was performed modified emulsions.

All this work was done in less than 100 working days. As we all know, when Hernandez is proposed, it does, but beyond personal effort, its staff and technology built in Germany show that can be reconstructed 34 km of a road completely new with a guarantee of over 20 years only 100 working days.

This is the reality we want to emphasize, if we want a Uruguay with very good infrastructure, we must use the best technology, the most productive and advanced end up being the most economical and durable.

This result is part of an innovation process together among the companies that participated in the Wirtgen Technology Days 2014 held in Germany, which agreed to bring in conjunction with H & G, Meliter, CVC and Tradinter a South African technician for the purpose of a conference the virtues of applying technologies foamed bitumen (Bulletin October 2014).

This process continued with the addition of equipment and technologies required for their application and hard work in laboratory design all involved. They were also required many hours of training, briefings and of course hard to successfully implement this advanced technology work in the country.

As anecdotario plus all innovations in this work, conducted jointly develop gravillados hot applied in July, during the winter closed season with a very good technical and result only applied at low temperatures in our country (Bulletin July 2016)

GRAVILLADOS NEW ROUNDABOUT ROUTE 10 And 16

recently we conducted for the company Techint S.A.C.I. one graveled with our double spreaders in a new roundabout built between Routes 10 and 16.

The work was done in a couple of days only because of the great versatility of these self-propelled equipment to work on curves of small radii. They consisted of a primer emulsion Print 50, and then a modified double emulsion CHIPSEAL Irrigation 65 P25. Quality of work, both dosage and overlap could be seen both as technicians of the company Techint and the MTOP.

We attach some pictures of them to appreciate the quality of the terminations.

JOINTS IN NEW BRIDGES TACUAREMBÓ

The Saceem-Cujo consortium has relied on the Bitafal Group in the supply and installation of anchored neoprene seals new suspension bridges that were built in Paso del Bote in the city of Tacuarembó.

The construction of two new bridges were made with existing (dating from 1930) in the Laguna de las Lavanderas where Patria Gaucha is performed. They consist of reinforced concrete arches 60 m span and 12m high guyed by a rigid board.

To withstand the intense movements, SC-160 type joints were installed in the stirrups and SC-230 in the central stack. These boards are designed for maximum movement of 160 and 230 mm. In addition maintenance of existing bridges which were installed together type SC-42 they were performed.

The consortium has also relied on our company for waterproofing membrane RUBERSAM board as we reported in our previous newsletter.

The two new bridges 60 m and 120 m long on Arroyo Tacuarembó have a road width of 8 m and a path 2.5m complement existing bridges, traffic circulating dual carriageway in one direction on themselves.

It really is a unique work in the country and we are very proud to have been part of this project consolidating our company as leading solutions for bridges together.

The Ruta 7 Foundation together with the Faculty of Engineering and with the support of the Congress of Mayors and the CURE organized a Seminar on the advances of methodologies and techniques for the improvement and rehabilitation of rural roads on November 17.

It was held at the new headquarters of the CURE (Eastern Regional University Center) in the city of Treinta y Tres and in which various technicians from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, the Faculty of Engineering, and Fundación Ruta 7, consultants and Construction Directors of various Departmental Governments.

The topics covered ranged from the design of pavements with low traffic volume, stabilization with hydraulic binders such as lime, ash and Portland cement to the experiences gathered in regional events such as the 1st Argentine Congress of Rural Roads and the Basic Roads Course held in Chile.

More than 60 technicians from Municipalities, Roads, companies and the University participated in the seminar.

At the end of it, an interesting exchange was made between those present on how the stabilization techniques with cement still do not enter the range of possibilities for rural roads despite the incorporation of technology at the national level and how it should be done so that it is done. reality.

VISIT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTEVIDEO CITEVI

For the third consecutive year we visit students of Civil Engineering at the University of Montevideo in our facilities. The activity is part of the course of Civil Laboratory III specifically on aggregates, binders and asphalt mixtures.

In the same an approach is given to building materials pavement comprising an asphalt mixture, testing quality control thereof, the design criteria of the mix, an evaluation of its mechanical properties and details of the activity laboratory practice compared to those who represent its future activity, such as road builders.

The activity is focused on the design of an asphalt mixture according to the Marshall method. In principle, a theoretical review of the method and national regulations was carried out. Subsequently, asphalt mixtures with different asphalt contents were made in the laboratory and test methods were evaluated to determine the characteristics of the mixture and of the aggregates that were being used. Once the capabilities of each of the systems were determined, the students processed the information and interpreted the results.

In addition to performing conventional tests, as wear LA or mixtures dosing by the Marshall method, seek to bring students to new technologies and assays as Microdeval comment on other methodologies existing dosage.

During the day also made visits to industrial plant Bitafal Special Asfaltos and other technologies are discussed road maintenance to complement seen in the laboratory.
