SELF-ADHESIVE BITABAND: EASY SOLUTION FOR SEALING

New product to seal cracks and cold joints in pavement construction.

The new tape BITABAND AUTOADHESIVA It is a highly polymer modified asphalt presented in rolls of 10 m long and in two alternatives of width, 5 and 8 cm. It is an easy solution to apply in the construction of cold joints in asphalt pavements and it also ensures their sealing, significantly reducing cracks in the axis of the roads.

The tape is applied cold and when placing the new mix, the modified asphalt melts, adhering and sealing the mix in an area of difficult compaction such as longitudinal joints or against curbs and culverts.

BITABAND It can also be used for bridge-type fissure sealing only requiring a torch to dry the fissure for the application.

Tape BITABAND AUTOADHESIVA seals and waterproofs where required a quick and easy placement manually and without the need to heat the material in construction joints, fissures and cracks. The main uses of the tape are:

On asphalt pavements to seal cracks up to 5 mm wide.
In cold joints during the construction of pavements for sealing and adhesion, for example with an adjacent folder or in the joints with cords, culverts, etc.
In the construction of elastic bridge joints for fixing the reinforcement sheet and waterproofing the joint.

For its application, the tape is simply unrolled along the fissure / joint with the release paper facing down, it is left in the sun for a few minutes to increase the adherence and it is placed from one end of the fissure / joint to the other pressing it. by hand or with a hand roller. The release paper is then removed and released to traffic.

The tape is presented in 10 meter long rolls with release paper, packed in cardboard cylinders containing up to 6 rolls.

NEW TECHNIQUE FOR CEMENT CRACKING CONTROL

Serviam has developed an interesting team to prefisurado recycled with cement.

Drawbacks consabidos generating shrinkage cracks of cemented materials are subject to attack because they can reduce the life of the pavement by water ingress. Usually in our country it has incorporated the technique with a heavy microcracking to mitigate these effects but there are other alternatives globally with specific equipment Compactor.

Serviam company developed a computer adapted to perform a Bobcat injecting the emulsion prefisurado IRRIGATION BITAFAL 65 at a depth of 20 cm each 4 m crosswise.

After initial compaction of the recycled material prefisurado this is done then continue working, leveling and final compaction. Of note is the use of technology to achieve grade project controlled by RF motoniveladora.

Subsequently curing the same emulsion BITAFAL IRRIGATION 65 is performed with quarry dust is released and traffic. By far the results are very good and it shows on the go using technology to control IRI. In the next few weeks they will be starting tasks paving asphalt hot mix in 5 cm surface layer.

We will see the behavior of this technique prefisurado in the future. For now, in every induced cracking and the asphalt it is necessary to prevent water ingress so hopefully a lifetime of work done.

The equipment developed by Serviam has a storage tank emulsion, a positive displacement pump, a wedge (shark fin type) of 25 cm which leaves a pipe 20 cm and a solenoid valve for controlling the dosage from Bobcat.

The fin makes a wedge about 2 cm wide in advancing the equipment is filled with emulsion BITAFAL IRRIGATION 65. Then the material of the side itself closes the wedge and leveling and compaction are performed normally. It can be seen watering cured, made with 1L / m2 of IRRIGATION 65 and 6 L / m2 of dust, marks prefisurado every 4 m in the photos below.
