The Uruguayan Association of Roads conducted the course on Surface Treatments with 50 professionals from the sector in June and is preparing its repetition for the first days of July.

Last June 14th The Surface Treatments course taught by Ing. Ignacio Kröger was carried out in virtual mode, one of the courses within the Diploma program for Road Works Technician (DTOV) taught by the AUC. On this occasion, specific topics of material selection, design, construction and good practices were discussed, in front of an audience of 50 people, including engineers, assistants, foremen, laboratory workers and students.

The objective of this course, in addition to training in these specific topics, proposes to eliminate several prejudices that still exist at the national level about the efficacy of surface treatments, and to convince that instead of "cheap" and that "they require a lot of maintenance" are the options more cost efficient for road maintenance.
