Grupo Bitafal was a silver sponsor of the event attended by more than 1,100 registrants from 24 countries. It was carried out in streaming by itafec and by a simultaneous VR/2D platform that allowed user interaction, the possibility of crossing interests and being able to hold private meetings.

Grupo BITAFAL participated with a conference by Santiago Kröger on the "Evolution of Equipment for Surface Treatments" as well as in the closing of the event presenting the XXI CILA of Punta del Este, of which it is also a sponsor.

ROUTE 3 DUPLICATION IS A REALITY

The works of Circuit 7 being carried out by Serviam and CVC are progressing at a very good pace

The project includes the duplication of roads in route 3, between routes 1 and 11, a bypass through the south of the city of San José de Mayo and a new bridge over the San José river. The section to be duplicated has an extension of 25 kilometers and about 8 km are close to being enabled just a few months after the start of the works.

The asphalt mix project is carried out entirely with modified asphalt supplied by Grupo Bitafal and the shoulders were made with a Cape Seal with modified BITAFLEX emulsions.

We thank the companies for the confidence they have given in supplying such an important input for their work.

The sections that are ready to be inaugurated are from Route 1 to km 73 executed by Serviam and the section from km 87 to the departmental capital together with the concrete pavement and roundabouts of the city of San José executed by the CVC company.
In both sections there were various challenges to overcome such as the transplantation of dozens of palm trees, the use of new equipment and technologies such as the transfer that Serviam incorporated (HC #130) for the execution of the asphalt layer.

The use of the transfer allows an excellent homogeneity of the laid mixture as well as a surface regularity (IRI) below 1 that is noticeable when walking on the pavement. Congratulations to the entire Serviam technical team for the excellent work done.

Regarding the concrete section of CVC, it is worth highlighting the solution to the drainage as well as the interaction of the route with the shops and the incorporation of two large roundabouts in an area of high, heavy and slow traffic such as the pass of Route 3 by the city of San José. As for the cemented base, it was made on the project dimension and then trimeated with the 3D milling machine to achieve an excellent support IRI. The concrete pavement was made between July 16 and August 25, in just 40 days, there were 44,000 m2 with curbs with heavy traffic and short days. We congratulate the efforts of the company for such an achievement.

in: Asphalt,News,floors,served,roads

The modern Vögele brand equipment MT3000-2 is being used in the duplication of Route 3

The Serviam company was a pioneer in using a transfer in Uruguay during the execution of the maintenance of Route 8 in 2014 with the Roadtec SB-2500 equipment from BITAFAL RENTALS but today They incorporate a state-of-the-art equipment with great technical features.

The Vögele MT3000-2 transfer features an oscillating conveyor belt, an innovative material transport system that can deliver up to 1300 t / h, and a modern control system that allows the machine to be controlled easily and safely. With this equipment, the company ensures a high quality in the mixtures, minimizing thermal and granulometric segregations, especially important in the PPP7 that they must maintain for 20 years.

There were three days in which 24 national, regional and international pavement specialists discussed topics such as on-site recycling with cement, with foamed asphalt, the use of RAP, recycled aggregates and other types of techniques. We highlight the great presence of Uruguay both in the exhibitions and in those registered, where Ing. Luis León, Nicolás Vaz, Horacio García Terra and Lucio Borelli shared their experiences on the subject where they stood out for their great technical level.

The DNV, hand in hand with the Qca. Paula Morales and Ing. Patricia Enrich, incorporated state-of-the-art equipment for the design and control of asphalt mixtures.

6) A servo-mechanical multifunction equipment to carry out various advanced tests such as dynamic modulus, four-point fatigue, indirect tensile strength, among other incorporated accessories.

ROUTE 5 DUPLICATION: INVESTMENT RECORD FIGURE

31 August 2021
in: Asphalt,Roads,News,Uruguay,roads

The extension of the double track from Canelones to Durazno will improve traffic conditions and provide safety to users

Currently the double track runs from Montevideo to Canelones. Its extension will be executed in four sections:

The first one goes from Canelones (at the junction with Route 11) to the town of Mendoza.

The second goes from Mendoza to Florida.

The third from Florida to Sarandí Grande.

And the last one from Sarandí Grande to Durazno.

The work is part of the road works plan prepared by the current administration for the five-year period in view of the intense traffic flow that exists today today and that will increase notably in the coming years, with the important investments that are carried out in the central area of the country. The plan foresees an investment of approximately 2.5 billion dollars, a record figure in the country's history.

UPDATE SEMINAR FOR ABC (BOLIVIA)

GRUPO BITAFAL present at the Seminar organized by the Franz Tamayo University of Bolivia

The seminar organized by the Franz Tamayo University and the Bolivian Highway Administration (ABC) was held in 4 days from 14 to July 27th Through the Zoom platform where more than 100 ABC engineers were able to learn first-hand about the latest technologies related to modified asphalt and emulsions.

Speakers from various universities in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Peru as well as CAF, Instituto Panameño del Asfalto y Vialidad Argentina presented on various topics related to the use of modified asphalt as well as primer emulsions and modified emulsions for treatments. Grupo Bitafal presented on "High performance asphalt emulsions" commenting on the latest trends in specifications by degree of performance and other recent developments.

STEEL SLAG AS AGGREGATE

We continue to bet on the circular economy using waste from other industries in paving

After several months of tests and adjustments in the way of classification, we were able to carry out the first section using steel slag as aggregate for surface treatment.

The most important steel mill in Uruguay, Gerdau-Laisa, generates around 10,000 tons of slag per year that ended up being buried in a landfill. With the approval of Dinama for use in road construction, it is possible to use a very valuable residue with good properties for surface treatments.

The material has excellent shape and high wear resistance in both the Los Angeles and Microdeval tests. The granulometries achieved fit very well with those we propose in the Book "High Performance Surface Treatments" achieving ranges of 2-6mm, 6-10mm, 10-14mm and 14-20mm. In terms of adhesion by Vialit plate, it exceeds 90%, complying with what is required.

The quality of the treatments carried out depends largely on the possibility of having resistant, cubic and well classified aggregates as is the case with this material. We leave you some photographs of the section made where you can see the quality of the aggregate used. We continue to take steps on the circular economy and caring for the environment in all our products and related techniques.
