surface treatments and winter

Reviewing the notes from previous years, we are When winter with a recurring theme. The gravillados in winter and care must be taken to prevent landslides.

This year is no exception, exactly the opposite, there is more surface treatments works underway in all previous years and landslides came in several of them.

Como siempre, la primera culpable es la emulsión, que es exactamente la misma que se usó días anteriores, con 10 o 15°C mas y no hubieron inconvenientes. Debemos entender que la veda que dispone el Pliego de Vialidad tiene su fundamento técnico en evitar estos desprendimientos si se trabaja de forma “tradicional” ya que las condiciones de curado de las emulsiones se ven seriamente modificadas con el frío.

Moreover, we note with pride that works in which they have implemented multiple treatments Latched (TMT®) and has been used exactly the same emulsion in defective works, do not have a single stone detachment.

We leave the note describing best practices to avoid problems of landslides in winter: SEVEN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE OF EMULSIONS IN WINTER

We recently implemented TMT® in several plays and come behaved very satisfactorily. We can highlight a stretch of Route 23 and Route 94 by Eduardo Martinez, also CVC on Route 8 and Route 96. Cujo in All these works were carried out with emulsions in May and have had no problems.

The next 5th of April it will celebrate the first International Day of Road Maintenance (International Road Maintenance Day, IRMD) the IRMD 2018

It proposed an excellent initiative from Asefma (Spanish Association of Manufacturers of Asphalt Mixture) and adds up consciences over the globe, such as ZAS (Slovenia) Routes de France (former USIRF France), ERF (European Road Federation) and Eurobitume, Mexico, Ecuador, Chile and BITAFAL from Uruguay, among others.

The reason for the celebration of this day is to show that the world as we know it today is only possible by roads and must properly preserve them. Institutionalizing the idea is to be held every first Thursday of April.

In the 2018 edition of IRMD, under the slogan "It protects the roads conserving the environment"It aims to draw attention to the influence of the condition of roads in emissions from vehicles on them.

He program of the day next Thursday April 5 in Madrid-Spain, will be from 9 to 12 (local time) and will feature two panel discussions:

1- The opinions of road users

2- The position makers

Opening exchanger Route 1

04 April 2018
in: DNV,Bitafal group,Molinsur,Top,News,route 1

The company Molinsur He opened last March 22 Exchangers Route 1 Camino Camino Cibils and Tomkinson.

The inauguration was attended by the current Minister of Transportation and Public Works, Victor Rossi and his predecessor, Enrique Pintado, as well as other DNV authorities, construction companies and friends. During the ceremony, the great challenges involved in a work of this magnitude and investment, estimated at over $260 million, were highlighted. The highlights were the large volumes of natural material moved to optimize the construction of both interchanges as well as the various inconveniences encountered in the execution of a work with a traffic greater than 12,000 vehicles/day but that has solved an enormous traffic junction that had been generated in recent years due to the proliferation of industrial and logistics projects in the area.

La obra en la intersección de la Ruta nacional Nº1 con Camino Cibils consiste en una solución a desnivel donde la circulación en la ruta se realiza en forma superior, manteniendo Camino Cibils y las ramas auxiliares su nivel original. La elevación de las calzadas de Ruta 1 se realizó con un puente de hormigón armado y los terraplenes de acceso correspondientes. La rasante de la ruta se eleva unos seis metros respecto a su cota actual, dejando un “gálibo libre” bajo el puente de 5,5 metros.

El puente consiste en una estructura compuesta por muros de apoyo extremos y un apoyo intermedio de cuatro pilares y la correspondiente viga. El cruce se complementó con la construcción de dos semi rotondas que facilitan la distribución del tránsito para efectuar las diferentes maniobras posibles.

Both works were complemented with signaling equipment and defense commensurate with the level of the route. In turn, the joints lit areas according to the new project with latest equipment.

New equipment cold micro agglomerates in Uruguay

Serviam continues to incorporate technology for road maintenance and has incorporated a new team Romanelli UHR 900 E-FLOW for the execution of cold set micro.

In a big bet for the local market, served It includes equipment, capacity and engineering for the development of new technologies paving in our country. The micro-agglomerates involve knowing other dimensions cold asphalt mixtures, emulsions and executing treatments. This development has incorporated new procedures both laboratory and field to try to control as many variables as possible and ensure the quality of work performed.

Our company is proud to have participated in it, trying to solve in the best way the problems that always arise in the application of new technology. We appreciate the confidence provided for the design and supply of the emulsion again BITAFLEX MICRO 62 P25 with which the designs of the micros and subsequent pilot test were performed.

Then we bring some photos of the first tranche executed, about two km long on Route 104, Maldonado. In the same well calibrated equipment, know the best enforcement practices from experts in the matter from Brazil, two types of Micro (one thicker than the other) were tested for their performance in the coming months. We hope to approach them progress of the work done with this technology on Route 60 near the spring.

World Of Asphalt 2018

Bitafal group was present once more in the world's most important asphalt event, this time at the George Brown Convention Center in Houston gigantic industrial city.

For 6 to 8 March was held the annual event World of Asphalt Houston, with a significant international presence of different industry players and roads. Also coincided with the event AGG1 Aggregates Academy & ExpoWith more than 200 aggregates and paving talks and an exhibition showing the world the latest technologies and innovations in equipment, products and services related to aggregates.

Houston fue sede este año del evento World of Asphalt, justamente una ciudad muy influenciada por el oro negro, que desde su descubrimiento en 1901, se ha convertido en su pilar económico más importante. Houston hoy posee 5.000 empresas relacionadas a la energía y la ciudad es considerada por muchos como la ‘Capital de Energía del Mundo’. Cualquiera que haya transitado por esa ciudad o ve las imágenes de internet, se da cuenta de su magnitud.

A modo informativo, Houston cuenta además con el complejo médico más grande del mundo, el Texas Medical Center (TMC), con sus 54 instituciones afiliadas y sus 15 hospitales; y con el mayor centro de investigación espacial en el mundo, el Space Center Houston de la NASA. Incluso “Houston” se jacta de ser la primer palabra dicha desde la luna en 1969.

All that grandeur and glitz that the city (and all USA), could not be less in the event, which featured major local and international exhibitors who did not hesitate to bring its huge crushers, pavers, boilers and heavy machinery. Furthermore, the presence of the most important players in the world of asphalt and all products and services related added.

Here are some of the photos of the event.

SAMI ONE BOX 8

TECHINT again trusts BITAFAL RENTALS the execution of a SAMI membrane.

Is currently running one recoating with conventional asphalt on Route 8 between 150 and 183 km below which is being applied stress relieving membrane (SAMI - by its acronym) emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFLEX 65 P40.

This particular stretch had been retreading Arnel at the end of 2009 with the first production of modified asphalt BITAFLEX AM3 our company supplied locally. That folder 3 cm, designed to last a couple of years, ended up serving for 8 years.

Current work involves milling the modified folder 3 cm, application of the emulsion P40 SAMI membrane and subsequent recoating of 5 cm with conventional asphalt.

BRIDGE ON BOARD Route 8 - Pando

together with modified asphalt elastic SA40 BITAFLEX

Saceem entrusted BITAFAL RENTALS running boards of the bridge over the A ° Pando on Route 8 within the duplication of road that the company is conducting COLIER. They were executed after a new recoating applied over the bridge, which was recently constructed. Joints made of elastic Juntastrech type are prepared with selected aggregates and sealer type BITAFLEX SA40.

Estimates for this type of specialized equipment together with work yields are between 25 and 35 linear meters per day. It is one of the most economical and durable solutions for expansion joints. It is therefore essential that the application is made by a trained crew, properly prepared for the application of binders and aggregates in hot and with the right quality for good durability.

we can again say that the performance of this technology speaks for itself as they have been applied hundred meters of these bridges together in our road network and continue to give good service with very low maintenance.

We share the photos of the work in progress.

RECYCLED foamed bitumen - ROUTE 102

The CVC recently started with recycling Route 102 using recycling technology in situ foamed bitumen. Thanks to the high yields of the technique is expected to have completed the tasks leaving a strong and flexible for future interventions take place only in the surface layer basis in about a month.

BITAFAL group HIGH PERFORMANCE EMULSION -BITAFLEX IRRIGATION 65 P40 -

The work consists of milling the previous route, due to the large cracking had the same block, the application of cement, recycled asphalt with added foaming and water, compaction and final grade. Then applying a curing irrigation awaiting a thin asphalt with conventional asphalt.

On the one hand, this intervention makes it clear the maintenance backlog that had this route of great importance for heavy vehicle traffic at the entrances of Montevideo and to the port. We must become conscious that interventions at the right time require less investment in maintenance.

De todas maneras, esta experiencia en conjunto con varias a nivel nacional, demuestran una vez más la importancia de estos equipos de reciclado en el aprovechamiento de nuestro patrimonio vial. La reutilización de materiales de calidad aplicados con maquinarias de alta tecnología abre nuevas fronteras en la construcción de nuestros caminos y carreteras.

VISIT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTEVIDEO CITEVI

Students Career Civil Engineering at the University of Montevideo participate annually in a lab course Civil Laboratory III on aggregates, binders and asphalt mixtures in our facilities.

It is the fourth year that this laboratory is provided in the sionWhere an approach to building materials pavement comprising an asphalt mixture, testing quality control thereof, the design criteria of the mix, an evaluation of its mechanical properties and details of it gives the laboratory practical activity in respect of which represent its future activity, such as road builders.

The activity is focused on the design of an asphalt mixture according to the Marshall method, carrying out a theoretical review of the method as well as the national regulations. Subsequently, asphalt mixtures with different asphalt contents are made in the laboratory and test methods are evaluated to determine the characteristics of the mixture and the aggregates used. Once the capabilities of each of the systems have been determined, students process the information and interpret the results. In addition to carrying out classic tests, such as Los Angeles attrition or the dosage of mixtures by the Marshall method, it is intended to bring students closer to new testing technologies such as Microdeval and to comment on other existing dosage methodologies.

We thank the Quím. Paula Morales for the time given for the realization of this practice as well as the UM for the trust given to CITEVI industry as a technical reference.
