In addition a thematic table "Proposals of Political Parties for the sector" where representatives gave their vision of how we are and proposals for the next period of government was conducted.

Within the thematic blocks, more than 30 technical papers on Transport, Road Safety, Structures, management and maintenance as well as pavements are presented.

The BITAFAL Group participated with four technical papers on "Surface treatments High Performance", "Advanced study of mixtures using different asphalts", "New asphalt emulsions level of performance" and "Recycling with cement and multiple treatments locked" together with the DNV.
At the close of the Congress there was a distinction as the best work of the Congress "Implementation of a mechanistic-empirical method for pavement design in Uruguay" of Ing. Martin Scavone and Gerardo Flintsch.

The novelty of the exhibition was that the outdoor showed new Wirtgen KMA 220 recent acquisition of CVC for recycling mixtures using foamed bitumen.
We look forward to the next Congress of Roads Uruguaya that possibly be done with the IBWC XXI.

BAUMA 2019

The biggest event of the construction broke records of participation and exhibitors.

For the third consecutive year BITAFAL group traveled to the city of Munich to participate BAUMA. This event, held every three years, was the biggest in its history and where more than 3700 companies presented their products and services. During the 7 days of the fair, from 8 to 14 April, 620,000 visitors came from 200 countries to learn about the latest advances in technology in both civil construction and road.

This time, the fairgrounds, opened new areas reaching 614,000 m2 of exhibition, fair really an eyesore.

From Uruguay several technicians and businessmen were present to meet new products and to incorporate these technologies in our country. We can proudly assure how many construction equipment companies mention Uruguay as a benchmark in innovation and incorporation of the latest trends in equipment and techniques. This is thanks to the joint work that many of the actors in the road family have been doing in recent years.

The world's leading trade fair for construction machinery, building materials machinery, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment, generated the best results in the exhibition's 65-year history. The number of visitors increased by around 40,000 over the total for the previous event in 2016. More than 250,000 visitors came from countries outside of Germany. The top 10 visiting countries after Germany were: Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Poland and Great Britain. The fair also saw a strong increase in the attendance of foreign visitors. China, Australia and Japan made significant gains in this group.

The most impressive stands were again the Liebherr, Caterpillar and Wirtgen. These exhibitors have whole sheds or buildings built exclusively for the fair, with exhibition equipment, meeting rooms, restaurants and shows to showcase the latest innovations.

Overall trends in this latest edition were hybrid engines for construction equipment, the 4.0 generation equipment, wireless technology for many applications and automated almost completely equipment.

Another interesting experience is the virtual reality that is being used for operator training and for different applications such as security awareness at work or even see the finished project from within.

The next edition will be held from 4 to 10 April 2022 at Messe München also in the beautiful city of Munich.

Bitafal group participated in the "Technology Days" Wirtgen Group.

In last April, Bitafal group He was present once again in Road Technology Days del Grupo Wirtgen in Germany accompanied by a large Uruguayan delegation.

During the nine-day trip, they visited industrial plants in various parts of the country of diverse types, from manufacturers to crushers spades, then witness this great biennial event of RoadTechDays.

There is no doubt that the Wirtgen Group after its acquisition by John Deere, will be the most significant company for the category Paving the world. The event is organized living testimony to this, showing that the German perfectly together with American affluence produces an admirable formula.

We prior to this stunning event Wirtgen, with strong Uruguayan presence of colleagues Molisur, Serviam, Hernandez and Gonzalez, Traxpalco and CVC, met plants Wirtgen, Kleemann (shredders) and Betek (spades for recyclers and milling machines) for 3 days.

Then we transladamos south to the small town of Ludwigshafen, where modern production plant of Vögele, which would be held the RTD is.

During the two days of the event, all kinds of compactors, recyclers, milling machines and finishers were displayed. Then they had techniques of each of the aforementioned companies and live demonstrations of how each of these talks.

After the event an artistic representation of machines with dancers and acrobats was done in a real show of power, lights and fireworks. In the video shown below have a more detailed description of the event.

Thank again the people of Tradinter Y Grupo Wirtgen by the organization, dedication and treatment, which make this a repeatable and recommendable experience.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PORTLAND CEMENT STABILIZED.

Our company in 2013 introduced the first Uruguay Wirtgen WR2000 stabilizer knowing that coming times of change in our industry due to increasingly tight budgets to meet a growing demand for road maintenance.

Moreover, the provisions of Dinama and Dinamige for quarrying are increasingly restrictive implying that these technologies, reuse of existing materials, are here to stay.

The more than 14 machines that are operating in our place to prove it. more economic and lasting foundations are achieved using existing materials and also with yields never imagined execution.

This technology allows us to think of other alternatives for pavement design, especially in the surface layers, which are not disseminated by the lean life they had in defective granular bases.

It's not new, but We are convinced that the foundations of our roads are the foundation and the life of asphalt which we place on them.

It is our vocation known surface treatments, very successful experience in new binders and search for new alternatives of implementing them prove it.

It is a technology that fits perfectly with the costs that Uruguay can pay for your roads and excellent cost / benefit based on traffic routes we have in our relationship.

We are studying sion All manual published in the roads of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa where more than 90% of the kilometers are executed surface treatments and where they used the stabilized with cement massively.

This work is being developed thoroughly and bringing it closer to the realities of this side of the southern hemisphere to transmit knowledge to the sector being adquiriendo.Prontamente be informing them about the progress of this work.

BAUMA 2016 - Impact trip to Germany

Cold Recycling Wirtgen Group Seminar | December 2015 - Sao Paulo, Brazil.

It was held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, last December, a technical seminar organized by cold recycling Wirtgen Group.Uruguayans participated more than 15 technicians of various construction companies, MTOP, of Tradinter and Bitafal group. There were also delegations from various countries in South America, reaching about 200 participants.

Los temas tratados en el seminario fueron sobre la tecnología de reciclado en frío y de la estabilización con asfalto espumado específicamente. Se realizaron charlas técnicas sobre las propiedades y comportamiento de materiales estabilizados con asfalto espumado (BSM – Bitumen Stabilized Material) y un taller sobre asfalto espumado y materiales BSM en el impresionante laboratorio central de la concesionaria CCR Nova Dutra.

Asphalt arena (1)

Esta tecnología es ideal para tramos exigidos como el existente entre San Pablo y Guarulhos que cuenta con más de 200.000 vehículos por día (la mayoría de ellos camiones y ómnibus) tanto por la resistencia del BSM como por la velocidad de ejecución, que se realiza en unas cinco horas únicamente durante la noche. Por otra partes es una tecnología económica y sustentable ya que utiliza el material de base y asfalto existente, 1% del cemento y un 2% de asfalto espumado solamente.

A very interesting experience thus acquired knowledge, as both made the links between the Uruguayan delegation, as with other delegations present. It is very important that all couples involved in the development of technology in the country have participated, showing interest and commitment to these first test sections in Uruguay are successful.
