SPARE SEALS ANCHORED ON BRIDGE Alfredo Zitarrosa

SPARE SEALS ANCHORED ON BRIDGE Alfredo Zitarrosa

Tracoviax Company S.A. trust in Bitafal Rentals for replacing anchored together the new Route 1 bridge over the River St. Lucia.

currently being implemented replacement work together neoprene anchored Alfredo Zitarrosa Bridge.
Las mismas son las juntas mas grandes que existen en un puente en el país, lo que implica un gran trabajo tanto en el retiro de las viejas juntas como en la colocación de las nuevas. Se están colocando juntas SC-230 y SC-330, de los cuales cada módulo de junta pesa entre 350 y 450 Kg por lo que debe realizarse mediante montacargas y personal especializado.
The work consists in removing gaskets Transflex 900 and 1200 existing along with their bolts, leveling and cleaning of the support surface, placing a PVC membrane, placing the new seals Rubberpar SC-230 and SC-330 along with new anchors and making transitions on both sides of the joint by a joint type JUNTASTRECH Elastic made with selected aggregates and sealant BITAFLEX SA-30.
They are doing the same under strict supervision of the company Tracoviax and DNV. We attach some photos of the installation process.

RUBERSAM STEP IN BRIDGE OVER THE BOAT - TACUAREMBO

RUBERSAM STEP IN BRIDGE OVER THE BOAT - TACUAREMBO

Bitafal Rentals He has ventured into a novel technique for the country in the waterproofing of bridge decks.

The SACEEM and José Cujo S.A. companies They relied on the Bitafal group for performing the first waterproofing membrane type and relieving stress RUBERSAM on national bridges.

It consists in applying an emulsion Bitaflex Riego 65 P40 with hard asphalt residue washed and classified with stone. With this waterproof membrane is achieved in all the boards of the bridges and is a suitable surface for adhesion of the asphalt intended as overweight.

The work consists of two new bridges and rehabilitation of existing ones on Paso del Bote, in the city of Tacuarembó. The same is in final stages of construction and is expected inaugurarlos before year-end.
The application process of the RUBERSAM membrane was performed as follows:
* Clean the surface of the board by, sweeper, blower and pressure washer.

* Application synchronized by double automatic spreaders an emulsion layer Bitaflex Irrigation 65 P40 with hard asphalt residue washed with stone and classified.
* Trabado stone matrix generated by light Compactor tandem.
* Application irrigation fog with the same emulsion Bitaflex Riego 65 P40
The total dosages envisaged emulsion was 2.5 L / m2 and washed with 14-19 mm sized stone at 12 L / m2.

CAPESEAL on Route 55

CAPESEAL on Route 55

The development of technology Capeseal continues to grow in Uruguay.

recently we visited the stretch of Route 55 Capeseal in the company by Emilio Alvarez Diaz S.A. and could verify the quality of surface finish achieved with the cold microsurfacing on a simple surface treatment.

The microsurfacing was executed by the company R & K Engineers using Bitaflex Micro emulsion 62 P25 was adjusted to regulate the cutting time due to weather and the type of water used conditions.
The result is visible, complete homogeneity across the surface, both in appearance and in the macrotexture is achieved. Besides excellent adhesion it is verified by the simple surface treatment.

Geotechnics Vial course _ Uruguayan Association of Roads

Geotechnics Vial course _ Uruguayan Association of Roads

Framed within the Master of Road Engineering dictates UNR in Argentina under an agreement with the Uruguayan Association of Roads, a new course of Geotechnics Vial was issued between 6 and 9 last September with more than 30 participants from various companies and agencies .

The topics of this course were the physical properties of soils, permeability, consolidation, shear strength, behavior patterns, soil auscultation and design of embankments.

In addition to case studies they were performed calculation software. For more information on future courses www.auc.com.uy

Day exchange with the Municipality of Cerro Largo.

Following the conference we announced in our last issue, we visited this month in the halls of training sion, Team members urban, rural and bacheo of the Municipality of Cerro Largo road.

Besides preparations for events topics, issues mixtures they were treated cold for patching, different formulations and best practices for laboratory use.

The idea of ​​the conference is to be adaptable to each municipal reality we invite you to join them and send their concerns to bitafal@bitafal.com.uy

elastic joints in bridges Route 6

The company is confident Workvial Bitafal Rentalsfor replacing joints 4 bridges from Route 6 at the height of San Gabriel. The works are being executed with average yields of 12 linear meters per day with a high quality finish.

All jobs are running full board cleaning and repairing the edges with high strength mortar. The gasket being manufactured in situ with 3mm plate member, precoated stone asphalt sealer type SA30 as it indicated in standard IRAM 6838. Termination and sealing surface is being prepared with the same sealer and selected gravillín.
Should you have any questions or need quotation we invite you to communicatebitafal@bitafal.com.uy

Print 50 for treatment DUST


emulsion 50 PRINT BITAFAL Hoping it will be of interest to other municipalities, we extend the invitation to participate, you can write to

Anticipating the arrival of the heat and low humidity environment to multiply the effect of fine suspended, and have been conducting several test sections in different traffic conditions to evaluate their performance and durability.
Were tested dosages of 0.6 to 1.0 L / m2, with the optimum performance for dust control is at low doses and releasable traffic almost immediately and are not accumulation zones emulsion. For all these tests has been carried out prior sweep the surface and has cared moisture in it was low for better performance of the emulsion.
In one of the test sections was used as 2-6 mm gravillín immediate release protection traffic without the gravillín interfere with curing or penetration depth since the absorption rate at the base is very fast. With this technique it is possible to urban jobs without cutting the road in no time.
After heavy rains last week some edges of the test sections were eroded by rain which allowed us to check the depth of action of the PRINT 50 and enclosed in photographs.
We estimate that the lifetime of the dust treatment performed with this emulsion, due to the depths reached, must be above 12 months.
