COMPARISON OF STABILIZATION OF ROADS TECHNOLOGIES
GROUP BITAFAL was invited by the OPP to participate in a comparative experimental section of stabilizing products in the Constancia in Paysandu, seeking to know which of them could ensure durability in rural roads.
Of the 11 kilometers of road thousand meters were left at each end as witnesses, which is not an application is made, while the remaining 9 kilometers are divided into 6 sections and each of them will be a specific application (SEE: LINK SITIO PAYSANDU.GUB.UY)
BITAFAL group It will implement the technology introduced in Uruguay in 2013, stabilization on site with Portland cement in a length of 1500 m by 6 m wide. The other stabilizers are applied based on polymer, of ionic and sulfur.
It's an interesting experience to evaluate the performance of a large portion of existing stabilizers on the market, where quality, durability, the manner of execution and of course the actual cost of each in similar conditions will be.
En una reciente entrevista en El Telégrafo, Rodrigo de Souza, de la Dirección de Vialidad de la Intendencia de Paysandú destacó la “importancia clave de la prueba, hace años que se viene considerando la posibilidad y ahora la OPP ha decidido impulsar un cambio en la manera de mantener los caminos rurales. No hay dudas que el tránsito ha variado sustancialmente y que entonces es de orden que hay que promover el uso de mejores productos”.
Moreover, the Director of Works of the Administration, David de Lima said "This is a beginning, an experimental pose, but clearly we intend to carry on using these products, those that give better results in our soils. Within rural road recovery plans will be much more expensive at first but cheaper in the end. "
The project will have several controls. On the one hand, of the companies that sell the products, they expect to be applied in optimal conditions. Then the quartermaster. Third, the OPP. And besides, the Faculty of Engineering, which will closely monitor the work.
