The importance of waterproofing structures is gaining strength in Uruguay

There are already several bridges that have been waterproofed to ensure their durability. Two works have recently been carried out with the BITAFILL bridge deck waterproofing, one through SACEEM, which was applied at the overpass in Ruta Interbalnearia and Camino de los Arrayanes, and the other through Espina on the new bridge over the Marincho stream. on Route 14. The latter is added to the more than 14,000 m2 applied to 12 new bridges made in the PPP 3 Project on Route 14 that have used this product to protect structures.

After all the applications, a 4 cm thick asphalt layer was applied with modified asphalt as the wearing course with excellent adherence.

We invite you to see some photos of recent executions.

Last Tuesday, March 29, in a day held at LATU, we participated in a training session with several companies and entrepreneurs in the sector where we were dialoguing and discussing the main problems we face in this changing global context.

This is a day held within the framework of the “Impulsa Industria” project of the Chamber of Industries of Uruguay (CIU) and supported by the National Institute of Employment and Vocational Training (INEFOP), whose objective is to generate industrial development projects, generate capabilities within the company and link various stakeholders in the sector.

With the help of a group of experts and through group dynamics, we worked with various tools to be able to define an innovation challenge where, in a systematic and orderly manner, it could be resolved in order to transform those demands, problems or drivers of change into added value for the company and for the client.

We appreciate and strongly support these types of CIU initiatives since they open the panorama to new points of view, strengthen relationships at an industrial level, provide better work tools, and above all help us to continue fine-tuning our innovation processes on which we are so focused.

70 YEARS OF SACEEM

The company celebrated its 70th anniversary at a peak of local and regional activity

The event was held at the foot of the arch bridge of the new viaduct that SACEEM is building in the Port of Montevideo and was attended by the President of the Republic, the Director of Highways and other national authorities. The impressive arch bridge has a height of 48 m and a span of 90 m. Weighing 270 tons, it was manufactured in Spain and is an icon of the work carried out.

The Director of SACEEM Alejandro Ruibal reviewed the history of the company and highlighted the great moment they are currently experiencing with the work of the viaduct, the central railway, works at UPM 2, the "Centenario" Bridge, which is the company's No. 150 and the recent substation in Paraguay, in addition to the permanent presence of SACEEM in Peru, among other milestones.

We congratulate the company for these first 70 years and we appreciate the confidence in the supply of asphalt and joints for bridges.

The product was tested with professional racing drivers and cars and showed very good slip resistance as well as adhesion to the asphalt layer. Improvements to other sections of the track are already planned in the coming months.

The existing asphalt layer is already more than 10 years old and has advanced aging that occurs in detachment of aggregates, which leave a high macrotexture and in some cases, punctual cracks.

The intervened areas were curves and other areas where the macro-texture was greater due to the fact that they imply a very accelerated wear of the competition tires and make the track unattractive for racing.

As mentioned above, the product showed very good resistance to slipping as well as adherence to the asphalt layer, which is why it is approved for interventions in other areas.

Another work carried out with Capeseal pavement on our national routes

The recently inaugurated work was carried out in less than 4 months and involved the base surcharge, the recycling with Portland cement and the execution of a Capeseal in 17 km of extension. The works carried out by Serviam between Solanas and Ruta 9 finished ahead of schedule, showing the advantages of this type of pavement execution both in quality and in productivity.

With this work, there are already more than 6 national routes that have this solution in some of their sections and other works are planned for 2022.

The rehabilitation of the section implied a base surcharge of 9 cm, the recycling of the material together with the old surface treatment in 20 cm with Portland cement and an irrigation of curing with emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFAL 65. Then, for the Capeseal, the simple bituminous treatment with emulsion was carried out IRRIGATION BITAFLEX 65 P40 and aggregate 5-14 mm in a width of 7.2 m to later be covered by Type II cold microagglomerate made with emulsion BITAFLEX MICRO 62 P25.

The recycling and bituminous treatment works were carried out by the Macromáquinas company, which has a new recycling train as well as a self-propelled gravel machine to ensure the quality of the work carried out. The microagglomerate was executed by Serviam with its high-capacity Romanelli equipment in just 8 working days.

The investment estimated at about USD 160,000 / km and the quality of the work carried out strengthen the concept that recycling combined with Capeseal is the future of many of our roads.

We congratulate Serviam on another high-quality work!
