XXXIX ASPHALT MEETING

Grupo Bitafal participated in the XXXIX Meeting of the “Dr. Jorge O. Agnusdei "

The Permanent Asphalt Commission of Argentina organized its traditional Asphalt Meeting in virtual format from 26 to November 28 last. The congress was scheduled to be held in June 2020 at the Iguazú Falls in Misiones, a place that remains open to be held in future editions. More than 1200 people registered and more than 800 were connected simultaneously in the most important moments of the event.

Presentations on recycling pavements, the use of modifying additives for asphalt and mixtures, as well as progress in tests on asphalt mixtures and emulsions, stood out.

Grupo Bitafal was present with two papers, one on our book on surface treatments and the other on asphalt emulsions by degree of performance.

The conference was attended by various works by authors from Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil and Bolivia, among other countries, presenting on various topics related to asphalt pavements. The keynote conferences were given on the other side of the Atlantic with the presence of Lic. Ma. of Mar Colás, Engineer Adriana Martínez and Engineer Alberto Bardesi from Spain.

From Uruguay, Eng. Faustina Keuliyan also participated, presenting on "Design and implementation of an on-site recycling project with foamed asphalt in Uruguay" and at the closing of the Congress a tribute was made to Eng. Jorge Agnusdei where Eng. Lucio Cáceres a few words remembering one of the founders of CILA.

Also at the closing it was carried out by the Qco. Santiago Kröger, Eng. Lucio Cáceres as delegates of the CILA in Uruguay and Eng. Boris Goloubinsteff as President of the AUC and of the Organizing Commission, the invitation to the XXI CILA to be held in Punta del Este in November 2021.

Day VIII Asphalt

The Uruguayan Association of Roads He organized the eighth edition with a large turnout of audience.

A new edition was held at the Holiday Inn Hotel on August 13 Asphalt Technical Seminar, Event held biannually in our country.

The Permanent Commission of Asphalt (CPA) of Argentina actively participated, as usual, with three technical presentations area recognized the road as Ing. Hugo Bianchetto, Ing. Adrian Nosetti and Ing. Mario Jair. Of Uruguay they presented the Ing. Faustina Keuliyan on modified asphalts and Qco. Santiago Kröger presenting the new practical technical "Gravillados in Uruguay" manual.

En esta edición se hizo bastante hincapié sobre el control de los áridos usados en mezclas asfálticas así como otros temas de interés para el sector. La sala elegida estuvo colmada durante toda el día ya que participaron mas de 150 técnicos vinculados a la vialidad nacional y de Argentina. Esperamos seguir teniendo una participación activa en próximas ediciones y en los demás eventos que se organizan en nuestro país. Los invitamos a conocer los temas tratados en el siguiente enlace.

Day VIII Asphalt - Group Bitafal

BITAFAL group He was present at the conference with the presentation of the book "Gravillados in Uruguay - Practical Technical Manual" through Qco. Santiago Kröger. . To close the day Mr. Mario Jair (Argentina) made a summary of Congress Preservation and Pavement Recycling held in March this year with the talk "PPRS 2018: Trends and conclusions".

VIII Asphalt Technical Seminar. Uruguayan Association of Roads

ASPHALT TECHNICAL WORKSHOP 7th.

Monday July 4 took place in the Crystal Tower Hotel Montevideo 7th Asphalt Technical Seminar organized by the Uruguayan Association of Roads in conjunction with the Standing Committee of Asphalt Argentina. It was attended by nearly 110 national road technicians who listened and participated in conferences exhibitors from Uruguay, Argentina and Chile.

The talks were on current issues of technology paving Uruguay from the use of Capeseal, the bitumen stabilized materials as those used in Route 3, to the performance of thin asphalt mixes F10 type, such as that in Ruta Interbalnearia recently.

Mr. Paternostro began with “Cape Seal: General concepts, national specifications and local examples” showing the results of the first sections carried out in Uruguay, both in its good macro-texture and in its impermeability, as well as the specifications currently used. Then, Dr. Ing. Fernando Martínez (Argentina) from IMAE presented "Prediction models of the rheological properties of asphalt binders", in which empirical tests such as penetration, softening point and Brookfield viscosity are used to predict rheological properties of asphalt binders. asphalts quite tightly without the need to use an expensive rheometer (DSR).

Eng. Rosana Marcozzi and Dr. Francisco Morea (Argentina) from LEMIT presented us with “Experiences in Argentina with warm asphalt mix technologies. New tests applied to the characterization of its performance ”, showing the good behavior of this type of mixture in the experiences carried out and opening the debate on its application at the regional level. In Uruguay, only one section was completed in 2012 but we are working from BITAFAL to repeat the experience and draw better conclusions.

During the afternoon Ing. Germán Bavdaz (Argentina) told us about the "evolution of physical parameters of asphalt mixtures after 14 years of service", focused on the performance of such thin mixtures F10 on the Autopista del Oeste, one of the busiest in Argentina.

For closing Eng. Joaquim Kemp (Germany) made an interesting presentation on "BSM -Materials bitumen stabilized. Current state of technology ", a technology that is already being implemented in Route 3 and has a very promising future in Uruguay.
