More than 60% of the works that will be presented have the circular economy as their axis

The outstanding topics are the rejuvenation and recycling of pavements, the use of waste from other industries, the use of low-temperature techniques, among others. That is why the master conferences will be focused on these important issues in a sector highly committed to caring for the environment.

We will have the pleasure of knowing first-hand how countries like Australia and New Zealand base their road management strategy on pavement recycling and surface treatments with Eng. Steve Patrick from the Australian Road Research Board, author of the “Austroads Guide for Pavement Technology Part 4K: Bituminous Irrigation”, which is used as a design and selection guide throughout Australia.

In turn, the commercial exhibition will have the presence of leaders in the industry both in the recycling of pavements and additives and products for a more sustainable road construction.
