Advanced technologies: Chiping on Route 8

The company has relied on Serviam Bitafal Rentals to assist in the maintenance of Route 8 between Pirarajá and Aramendía through technology Chiping.

It involves the application of a simple surface treatment fog irrigation, using a highly modified with hard asphalts emulsion (Emulsion BITAFLEX IRRIGATION65 P40 D) And aggregates of excellent quality and grain size adjusted.

La condición inicial del pavimento consistía de una carpeta asfáltica fisurada pero casi sin ahuellamiento. La empresa realizó los bacheos necesarios y el sellado de fisuras y Bitafal Rentals colaboró con las modernas doble esparcidoras para lograr una buena terminación con elevados rendimientos de ejecución.

The result was a high surface macrotexture improving tire grip with the pavement and less effect "spray", combined with a total water proofing, ensuring a longer life to the pavement. Furthermore the application of a surface irrigation fog, beyond ensuring adherence of aggregates, manages to homogenize the surface to give a uniform aesthetic finish.

Combining a good job of preparing the surface, using materials of superior quality and performance with the latest equipment, we are sure it will work long service life.

Just relieve the sections of Chiping executed Ruta 5 por Necklace (San Gregorio north) in 2010, as we reported in previous editions of "Making Roads" to convince durability and excellent surface characteristics of technology.

First stages of cold recycling with foam asphalt | Bringing Theory to Practice

The first sections of pavement recycling foamed bitumen are a reality and are projected as an economic and sustainable solution for the rehabilitation of roads.

Since incorporation by BITAFAL RENTALS of the first recycling train in situ in Uruguay in 2013, it has advanced very quickly in the national road system to incorporate technology in all its variants.
