OVERHAUL HISTORIC ROUTE 30

OVERHAUL HISTORIC ROUTE 30

The route is finishing being reconstructed in its section between Artigas and Bella Unión.

With the completion of this section, more than 250 km of intervened route from Route 5 to Route 3 in Bella Unión are completed. The recent works leave excellent connectivity for the city of Artigas, both due to the rehabilitation of the pavements and the 5 new bridges that were built in the section between Artigas and Tomás Gomensoro. The Traxpalco company is doing a great job in the widening and surcharge of the route as well as in the double interlocked treatment (DTT) with emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFLEX 65 P40.

Traxpalco is carrying out a granulometric stabilization by means of a 20 cm thick basalt surcharge and taking the width of the route to 11 m with 7.2 m of carriageway and 1.5 m of shoulder. The stabilized material is sealed with fine material and waterproofed with diluted MC1 awaiting double bituminous treatment.
The treatment is performed with emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFLEX 65 P40 and 12-19 mm gravel of very good quality in irrigation A and with 6-12 mm in irrigation B. The two irrigations are carried out in the same day ensuring the interlocking of the system applying the right dose and using a tandem roller to achieve the searched matrix.
The company has carried out great logistics to obtain granular material and stone aggregates, they have three mobile crushers and one fixed to achieve the necessary daily volumes of material.

With sufficient equipment and materials, together with adequate logistics on site, they are managing to execute close to 20,000 m2 of double finished treatment per day. Grupo BITAFAL is committed to the work ensuring the supply of two daily trips of emulsion to almost 700 km from our plant. The high daily yields with this system and the quality of the finished treatment demonstrate the advantages of this type of execution.

At the end of last year, 5 bridges were inaugurated in the section under reconstruction, with an estimated investment of USD 22 million. In this way the connectivity between Bella Unión and Artigas is assured.
The works are completed with a section of Branch Route 3 between Tomás Gomensoro and Bella Unión by the company DÍaz Alvarez. In that case there is also a surcharge of crushed material and then a double bituminous treatment carried out with emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFLEX 65 P25. In the area Diaz Alvarez has also carried out a resurfacing with BITAFLEX AM3 on Route 3 in the accesses to Bella Unión.
In this way, the Department of Artigas has received the largest injection of works in history, leaving a good quality infrastructure for the development of the area with the realization of investments that boost production activity.

Road maintenance

Road maintenance

We made a tour of the fronts of works which are being used Bitafal products.

This time we made 1400 km traveled by different works in progress, or a year of operations, for the purposes of check the technical situation and being in contact with the realities of the same.
In general all routes flown are in good condition but we have to convince us that interventions on the roadways when done in a timely manner so substantially lengthen the quality and durability of our floors. On the other hand we must continue to innovate and look for continuity mechanisms that do not generate electoral cycles ups and downs in the construction industry.
1) Laying asphalt mixture with modified BITAFLEX AM3 on driveway route 5It executed by the company HYG, great work rate and tidiness, a substantial improvement on driveways executed noticeable, providing a long service life of the road.
2) Then we visited the works on route 3 Pass of the Port to Young about 6 years ago and made it in very good shape and visited the recent works carried out by the firm Gofinal / Lemiro Pietroboni in retreading executed asphalt modified asphalt BITAFLEX AM3. I became essential that retreading modified asphalt because it was the only stretch of Route 3 in the vicinity of Young was fatigued.
3) Just finished running route 25 also modified asphalt BITAFLEX AM3. We were accompanying the company Colier Opening of the section of Young to Route 90 which has a traffic of 300 trucks per day wood and general condition of the road it was very bad due to the age of the last interventions.
4) They are starting the work by signing the INCOCI route 90, Which is stabilized with portland cement and seal with a surface treatment made with highly modified emulsions.
5) On Route 30 Route 3, Diaz Alvarez signature is running treatments emulsions IRRIGATION Bitaflex 65 P40, Achieving aggregate adhesion / asphalt very good and well behaved at the high temperatures of the region.
6) We participate in the cuts ribbon inaugurating bridges all route 30, Works of very good quality and excellent execution deadlines were completed 7 months before the deadline, congratulations to the four companies that participated: Saceem, Incoci, Grinor and Cujo.
7) Bases route 30 are being prepared by the firm Tracoviax in its entirety for treatment reinforced emulsions highly modified type IRRIGATION 65 P40 as required by the standard and the respective region.
Sieve executed with bases are being stabilized very well and really congratulates them for the arduous task of mastering the basalts of the north.
8) We review the overall asphaltic treatments region surrounding the city of Artigas and we can certify that his condition is very good. We visited the section executed by Incoci on Routes 30 and 31 as well as performed by Tracoviax on Route 30 and kept in good shape, without exudates or potholes. They are very well executed with the correct dosage, presenting a texture that can be seen in the photos taken.
9) And returning, we passed the landmark CHIPING executed by Colier on route 5 in the sections of hits on Route 43, San Gregorio de Polanco. That stretch was performed for the purpose of a necessary and immediate intervention to last 1 or 2 years, as we have been 8 years and continues to provide adequate service. Only they have been some meters bridging sealing.
We have to convince us that interventions on the roadways, when done in a timely manner, so substantially lengthen the quality and durability of our floors.
That calculation is handled that for every dollar we spend on maintenance, spare 8 future dollars, in this and many other cases are checked handsomely.
We have cases of the Chiping de Ruta 8 of Serviam 4 years, the retreading 2 cm asphalt Arnel Bitaflex AM3 on route 8 which it lasted more than 10 years and only last year was milled and Recapo by the firm Techint. It is very good for our company to see the progress of the work and make returns to our friends.
Until next time.
