EFFICIENCY IN TREATMENTS BITUMINOSOS

Once again, the Colier company entrusted us to collaborate in the surface treatments that are being carried out on Route 7 at the height of Santa Clara de Olimar

Bitafal Rentals made available to the company a double ACMAR spreader of French origin that has the characteristic of being a graveller with telescopic rollers, which allows a perfect dosage of the calibrated aggregates as well as the necessary emulsion in a fair and precise way.
Through this technology, the company went from having a crew for the execution of the treatment of about 8 people to only 3. In addition, the advantage that the same equipment doses emulsion and aggregate allows greater control of the dosage and better results in the treatment built.

We present ourselves on site and agree, using a calibrating drawer, the appropriate dose of aggregate and after defining this characteristic, the necessary emulsion. The results are eloquent and the doses and emulsion / aggregate ratio are behaving in a superior way without the risks of overdosing so harmful for subsequent exudations.

Bitafal is already in the operational phase of track tests of a series of new asphalts for winter use that are applied hot and with automatic release to traffic. This project is linked to a new generation of developments that we have been working on for 3 years in order to ensure that our market does not see its productivity altered during closed seasons.

Our companies are going through a very difficult time economically linked to the low productivity of execution of works. When Bitafal incorporated the first recycling train, it achieved a great leap in productivity on the road and now we are preparing for this new generation of very high performance elastomeric asphalts that will complement this innovation.

OPENING OF ROUTE 50

Serviam inaugurated the section linking Route 1 with Tarariras

In turn, between Route 1 and the locality El Semillero, a micro computer was placed in cold emulsion BITAFLEX MICRO 62 P25 that markedly improved the surface finish of treatment.

The works also included improvements in various sections such as the urban area of El Semillero and Tarariras where asphalt was laid and the correction of the layout of some curves and the construction of eight culverts. The works demanded an investment of three million dollars.
