Like 7 years ago, during rehabilitation of Route 18, the company Techint returns to trust the GROUP BITAFAL for running a stress relieving membrane (SAMI) on Route 9. This time it was run with emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFLEX 65 P40 high elasticity and classified and washed over the old asphalt area Toll Garzon gravel.

They guarding the execution conditions are able to obtain good yields of up to 6,500 m2 in the day in a difficult time of year to run Bituminous treatments (and even those running on a hard, smooth surface like asphalt)

We describe the considerations taken for the implementation of the SAMI:

Prior to the execution of the SAMI membrane, the necessary patching and sealing fissures were made.
The membrane is beginning to run early in the morning with the emulsion BITAFLEX IRRIGATION P40 65 to 80 ° C watered with stone washed leaving a semi-open matrix.
Immediately after compaction tire is performed to prevent fracture of the stone.
In the first run the evaporation conditions were evaluated the day, determining the expected performance for the day.
The automatic double spreaders allow a good implementation rate reaching 2 km in length in one morning with good evaporation conditions.
Just after midday watering higher lying fog over the entire section is executed.
It remained closed to traffic until late.
an asphalt AC20 asphalt with up smoothly laying and compaction standing.

Observations:

With these performance conditions, a very good performance despite low temperatures in May and June was achieved.
The SAMI membrane behaved very well against the traffic while the asphalt was not confirming the great cohesion that provides the emulsion BITAFLEX IRRIGATION 65 P40.
Adherence to asphalt binders was very good as observed in controls.
The double spreaders allow high yields in these working conditions (high dosages of emulsion at elevated temperatures irrigation smooth surfaces).

We hope that the time show the effectiveness of using this technology for stress relief.

Techint thank you for trusting our products.

8th Conference of BITUMEN AND ASPHALT | Middle East

31 May 2017
in: 8th Middle East Bitumen,News

GROUP BITAFAL traveled to the UAE to know the world of asphalts and development of technologies paving the Middle East.

We participated in the 8th MEB which was held in Dubai on 1 and 2 May with more than 400 participants from 50 countries. This event is part of an annual conference on oil and gas from the Middle East that attracts the most important companies like Shell, BP, Chevron, Total, ENI, among others.

Pudimos conocer de primera mano el desarrollo de las tecnologías de la pavimentación en la región y podemos decir con orgullo que Uruguay está a la vanguardia en la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías. Uno de los puntos más interesantes de la conferencia fue una mesa redonda sobre calidad de asfaltos donde participó el Prof. Hussain Bahía y otros técnicos de Europa y EEUU.

One of the issues of concern at the Conference was the implementation of new regulations of IMO (International Maritime Organization) to prohibit the use of fuel oil with more than 0.5% sulfur by 2020 which will lead to restrictions and supply problems asphalt which is made from crudes with high sulfur content generally. We'll see how this legislation affects the supply of asphalts in the region.

Finally, it is really impressive development of Dubai in all respects. Infrastructures, buildings and real estate developments both high (as the Burj Khalifa) as inward sea (such as Palm Jumeirah)

ACTIONS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Flamengo Athletic Club was founded in 1981 by a group of friends and workers in the area of Empalme Nicolich with the vision of bringing together students and workers wanting to do sport and compete in various tournaments.

It is a sports group that promotes the development of football in youth based on values such as respect, companionship, sacrifice, humility, team spirit and commitment.

Since its foundation have competed in several amateur tournaments with very good results and main objectives for the coming years. UY currently competing in the Divisonal D League after getting the promotion in his first season game.

Since 2015 Grupo Bitafal support from the Board of Directors to Athletic Club Flamengo and this year with more active participation to accompany the vision and projects that this group of young aim.

In April the presentation of the new team jerseys with the sponsorship of Bitafal Group was held, and in May was held on the occasion of Mother's Day, a drawing of a TV 49 '' also with support of our company.

While these small actions are a drop in the ocean, we believe make the difference for the athletes group, enthusiastic and workers remain motivated, committed and growing individually and collectively and with the excuse of sport that does so much good to the body and soul.

COMPARISON OF STABILIZATION OF ROADS TECHNOLOGIES

GROUP BITAFAL was invited by the OPP to participate in a comparative experimental section of stabilizing products in the Constancia in Paysandu, seeking to know which of them could ensure durability in rural roads.

Of the 11 kilometers of road thousand meters were left at each end as witnesses, which is not an application is made, while the remaining 9 kilometers are divided into 6 sections and each of them will be a specific application (SEE: LINK SITIO PAYSANDU.GUB.UY)

BITAFAL group It will implement the technology introduced in Uruguay in 2013, stabilization on site with Portland cement in a length of 1500 m by 6 m wide. The other stabilizers are applied based on polymer, of ionic and sulfur.

It's an interesting experience to evaluate the performance of a large portion of existing stabilizers on the market, where quality, durability, the manner of execution and of course the actual cost of each in similar conditions will be.

En una reciente entrevista en El Telégrafo, Rodrigo de Souza, de la Dirección de Vialidad de la Intendencia de Paysandú destacó la “importancia clave de la prueba, hace años que se viene considerando la posibilidad y ahora la OPP ha decidido impulsar un cambio en la manera de mantener los caminos rurales. No hay dudas que el tránsito ha variado sustancialmente y que entonces es de orden que hay que promover el uso de mejores productos”.

Moreover, the Director of Works of the Administration, David de Lima said "This is a beginning, an experimental pose, but clearly we intend to carry on using these products, those that give better results in our soils. Within rural road recovery plans will be much more expensive at first but cheaper in the end. "

The project will have several controls. On the one hand, of the companies that sell the products, they expect to be applied in optimal conditions. Then the quartermaster. Third, the OPP. And besides, the Faculty of Engineering, which will closely monitor the work.

Scientific support will be key, because control of such stabilizers involves systematic chemical and physical-mechanical tests (SEE: NOTE THE TELEGRAPH September 2016)

With more than a year in service, the 23 Km of Chiping made in Route 8 for Serviam S.A. distributed between km 209 and 235 behave impeccably fulfilling the objectives set out in its application.

Cal (2)

As for existing defects, they are very specific and easily solvable. Specifically, the final stretch of about 900 m which took place near the very long winter we suffered in 2016, the arid fell off prematurely, leaving an excess content asphalt surface coinciding with the existing tracks in the driveway.

To rehabilitate recently decided that surface making a chip seal 5 to 14 mm in traces low emulsion and then placed on the same day with the chiping aggregate 5-10 mm across the width of the road and the corresponding irrigation emulsion fog BITAFLEX IRRIGATION 65 P40 D prepared with hard asphalts.

In this way it was possible to correct the existing rutting, excess asphalt surface was controlled and good macrotexture and a uniform finish with the rest of the section made last year was achieved.

We invite you to watch the pictures chiping status and recent stretch made.

Flywheels Association of Uruguay (Auvo) BITAFAL Group relied on for supplying the modified asphalt AM3 being used as surface layer in the recent remodeling Speedway Victor Borrat Fabini El Pinar.

After several years it has been able to realize this dream that has had the support of several national companies and a very large effort by the Auvo policy.

Bitafal: new technologies to improve Caminería

The original work on Auvo, consisting in shaping the subgrade delivered, laying and compaction of ballast (this customer supplied) and the execution of a road surface 7cm thick with modified asphalt. Due to the high demands on surface finish is executed variant that is offered.

Soil movement, was conducted by Domingo De Vitta, with sand instead. Then after some adjustment of the executive project, we proceeded to the laying and compaction of granular material. It came from Cantera Casil of La Paz, supplied by the customer as mentioned.

With respect to the particle size in the first layer it wore its 12% natural sand with 5-14mm starting stone powder crushing Quarries Montevideo, with a percentage of 5.2% asphalt. The it wearing however, was performed without natural aggregates and with the addition of 1% lime. The optimum asphalt AM3 stood at 5.4%

The company had acquired a sonic level and another to copy the granular base which was carefully completed and controlled. The fit with soil and planted the seed back will be at 4.00 meters wide and around the inside of the loop with some minor requirement to prevent sand entering the track.

We congratulate everyone involved for the great work done.
