Reflections on state of emergency of national roads
Severe weather in recent months are to be felt in the national roads, from the primary network to rural roads(Source: El País, 04/19/16)
So much so that in several departments requested that the "emergency road" is declared, as indicated in Canelones (Source: El País, 10/04/16)and Salto (Source: El País, 13/04/16) as well as on the coast of the country (Source: El País, 04/20/16) And in the west in Cerro Largo (Source: El País, 05/09/16)

It has been announced by the government a battery of proposals from an extra small party for the Intendencias to cope with the deteriorating state of their ways to the extension of the scheme of PPP (Public Private Partnerships) to rural roads (Source: El Observador, 05/15/16)
He also spoke of a Strategic Plan for Rural Caminería (El País, 05/04/16) But without going into more detail than that is going to make a "Analysis of the needs of each department and introduction of new technologies for road construction".
PROPOSALS
In this aspect, from the Bitafal Group to continue innovating bet in real technical solutions for the durability of rural roads.
1) As We introduced in 2013 technology Soil Stabilization and Pavement Recycling siteToday we remain committed to expanding its use with new binders and execution techniques. We have Foamed asphalts as BITAFLEX AME which can extend the working range during cold periods and give improved performance of mixtures.
2) As ferrous Surface treatments advocates we are, we are developing new asphalts, emulsions and execution techniques to achieve higher durabilities at lower costs. Also looking to expand the range of work during cold seasons.
3) We continue spreading the use of both techniques together. Road engineering worldwide considers that the implementation of these two technologies is the ultimate solution for rural roads and not to mention, because of our scale, which for much of our crumbling road network. What we have learned we must communicate why We participate in conferences and seminars at national and regional level.

4) We continue to learn to apply in UruguayAs we reported in the last edition of "Making Roads" we learn from the Kiwis who have already worked hard to seek durable and economical solutions. One of our technicians will participate in a course Surface Treatment in New Zealand and now we plan to bring South African technicians to continue the dissemination of successful experiences in the world.
5) We continue warning the political actors about the risks of "new" soil stabilization techniques with chemical or biological products. El using these experimental technologies must be done in a progressive manner, and supported on objective, technically sound and consistent, which in one way or another, justify its use. For this test we participate in conjunction with experimental technologies, using the universal recognized technology stabilization Portland cement on a stretch of road in Artigas.
