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.
INAUGURACION ROUTE 8 melo-Aceguá

INAUGURACION ROUTE 8 melo-Aceguá

the section built by the company CVC on Route 8 connecting Melo with the Brazilian border was opened.

On 10 September the ribbon cutting took place in the village Isidoro Noblía found in the newly renovated section. The ceremony was attended by Minister Victor Rossi, the Mayor of Cerro Largo, Pablo Duarte, representatives of the company, DNV and other national and local authorities as well as colleagues and friends.

The section was recycled in 9 m and then a road of 7.2 m was conducted in double bituminous treatment with fog. In some sites existing sewers widened and conditioned with asphalt some sections as traversing Noblía.

Recycling cement was performed in 25 cm depth giving a great bearing capacity to stretch. irrigation curing is then performed with

Recycling cement was performed in 25 cm depth giving a great bearing capacity to stretch. irrigation curing is then performed with Emulsion IRRIGATION 65 which allowed the release to traffic during last winter without problems. Bituminous simple treatment was performed on the 9 m wide while the fog twice using only road always Emulsion IRRIGATION 65 P25.

Exudation problems that appeared last year were already controlled in January and hopefully a good pavement performance this season and next summer following. The sealed surface texture was evenly across the entire width making resemblance to a asphalt.

We commend the company for having completed all the sections in very good condition and high quality. It is expected durability and enjoyment for users who can circulate in a safe and comfortable route.

PG 70-28 asphalt NEW

PG 70-28 asphalt NEW

Bitafal Special Asfaltos incorporates a new high-quality modified bitumen called PG 70-28.

The new surface has excellent results in laboratory, achieving resistance to permanent deformation and the like fatigue one asphalt AM3. If you are perform traditional tests it can be classified as an asphalt AM2 (almost AM3) of the IRAM 6596 standard but is a performance grade asphalt PG 70-28 E (for extremely heavy traffic).

And there are several works that are using this new alternative modified asphalt on the one hand is being used in the retreading on concrete Route 8 by Tracoviax and CVC and another is beginning to be used in the reconstruction of Route 14 you have to perform the PPP Circuit Vial 3 by the Espina-Copasa consortium.

At 12th Congress of the Road Uruguaya the benefits of this new modified asphalt and comparative studies with other asphalt cements were presented at the square.

On Route 8, it is conducting a retreading over the existing concrete section of Mataojo Solis - Minas. First a base layer of 5 cm and then a 4cm surface, both prepared with the asphalt PG 70-28 (AM2).

The mixing temperature is in the range of 160 ° C, maintaining the characteristics of a conventional asphalt work and high performance work to achieve good workability in the vicinity of 150 ° C.

Both companies are making a very good job in both manufacturing and laying and compaction of asphalt mixture which is reflected in surface quality, both macrotexture and IRI. We emphasize safety equipment used as mobile radars and donkey backs of much needed in a high traffic route. Moreover, for the roughness of the section are being used skates 6 m with sensors coupled to the terminating and results feel gait.

We thank the companies and the MTOP the offered confidence.

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE IN chiping Route 8

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE IN chiping Route 8

With more than a year in service, the 23 Km of Chiping made in Route 8 for Serviam S.A. distributed between km 209 and 235 behave impeccably fulfilling the objectives set out in its application.

Cal (2)

As for existing defects, they are very specific and easily solvable. Specifically, the final stretch of about 900 m which took place near the very long winter we suffered in 2016, the arid fell off prematurely, leaving an excess content asphalt surface coinciding with the existing tracks in the driveway.

To rehabilitate recently decided that surface making a chip seal 5 to 14 mm in traces low emulsion and then placed on the same day with the chiping aggregate 5-10 mm across the width of the road and the corresponding irrigation emulsion fog BITAFLEX IRRIGATION 65 P40 D prepared with hard asphalts.

In this way it was possible to correct the existing rutting, excess asphalt surface was controlled and good macrotexture and a uniform finish with the rest of the section made last year was achieved.

We invite you to watch the pictures chiping status and recent stretch made.
