A SECTION OF ROUTE 8 WHICH PASSES THROUGH THIRTY-THREE WILL BE REHABILITATED

A SECTION OF ROUTE 8 WHICH PASSES THROUGH THIRTY-THREE WILL BE REHABILITATED

An investment of 10 million dollars will be made to rehabilitate a section of route 8 that crosses the city of Treinta y Tres, between routes 17 and 19

In the coming weeks, the technicians from the Roads Directorate will be finalizing the executive project for the work. Once the project is finished and the details of the intervention are known, it will be announced to the departmental authorities and public opinion, informed Minister José Luis Falero.

The Minister toured the routes of the department. Several of them will be under construction throughout the period, as part of the execution of the national road infrastructure plan designed by the government. Falero stressed that not only will work be done on national routes, but also on secondary routes "which must be prioritized."

The hierarch highlighted the progress in the construction of the bridge that will link La Charqueada with the town of Cebollatí in the department of Rocha. The work not only involves the construction of the bridge, but also the rehabilitation of the accesses by Route 91.

THE FOUR SECTIONS ARE AWARDED TO DUPLICATE ROUTE 5

The extension of the double track from Canelones to Durazno will improve traffic conditions and provide safety to users

Currently the double track runs from Montevideo to Canelones. Its extension will be executed in four sections. The first goes from Canelones to the town of Mendoza. The second goes from Mendoza to Florida, the third from Florida to Sarandí Grande and the last from Sarandí Grande to Durazno.

The estimated investment is about 300 million dollars. The duplication of the section that goes from Florida to Sarandí Grande is carried out through a rehabilitation, maintenance and financing contract (Cremaf). This financial instrument streamlines instrumentation times and speeds up the start of works. The tasks are executed in two years and their maintenance is guaranteed for the following 10.

NEW SECTION WITH HIMA IN URUGUAY

NEW SECTION WITH HIMA IN URUGUAY

A highly modified asphalt (HIMA) was used to cover a section of Route 1

Four years ago, Traxpalco carried out a coating on the concrete pavement of Route 1 to improve the IRI and the general surface condition of the section. The excellent results are felt when one drives on it and that is why an extension is being carried out with a project similar to the one reported in the Bulletin N° 94

On this occasion, a section of approximately one km of an Asphalt Arena was made, in which a highly modified asphalt with SBS polymer was used (HIMA) in a thickness of 20 to 30 mm. It is to be expected a greatly improved performance of this SAMI (Stress Absorbing Membrane Interface) type layer, since the asphalt HIMA It is much more effective than the usual modified asphalts (type AM3) to attenuate the rise of cracks and joints.

The asphalt HIMA It was prepared following the specifications proposed by the Florida Department of Transportation (USA), which is one of the states with the most experience in the use of this new technology. They are evaluated for performance at 76°C in the MSCR test that is carried out with the dynamic shear rheometer, contemplating a maximum viscosity so that mixing and compaction are similar to those used with type modified asphalts. AM2 Y AM3. This could be verified on site since both temperatures were maintained and there was no difference either during the preparation of the mix or when laying it.

The section in question with Arena Asfalto was carried out at km 54 of the roadway beyond Route 1 in the Libertad bypass. On it, the regularizing layer will be applied with a CAD 12 mixture and then an F10 as tread, both made with modified asphalt type AM3. In the vicinity of the Liberty Free Zone, it will also take place on an Asphalt Arena made with AM3 a CAD 12 leveling machine with asphalt HIMA to evaluate the performance of a usual dense mix (with less asphalt content compared to an Asphalt Sand) in attenuating the reflection of joints and cracks.

We will be monitoring the various sections executed to confirm the benefits of this technology that is increasingly being developed worldwide.

URUGUAY PRESENTS THE LARGEST WORKS PLAN OF RECENT TIMES

URUGUAY PRESENTS THE LARGEST WORKS PLAN OF RECENT TIMES

In this five-year period, the largest investment in roads and bridges in the history of the country will be made. The quality of the road network will be raised with emphasis on transversal routes

The plan aims to improve the quality of roads and bridges to meet current and future needs.

The investment planned for the five-year period is 3,300 million dollars, which means an increase of 700 million compared to what was foreseen in the five-year budget, explained Falero.

Particularly, the investment in 2022 will be 905 million dollars, which represents about 2.5 million dollars per day. The figure marks a historical record. This investment will allow raising the standard of the road network to face the current traffic flow and future demands, accompanying the economic growth of the country.

Of the 8,800 kilometers of the road network, some 7,600 will be intervened, which represents more than 80% of the road network under construction. Maintenance works will be carried out on 4,400 kilometers, in about 2,600 there will be a change of standard and there will be 600 kilometers of new work, which will increase the country's road heritage.

One of the novelties of the plan is that special emphasis will be placed on the quality of the works. The Minister pointed out that there will be no more national ballast routes. There are currently 375 kilometers in these conditions, to which a double bituminous treatment with cement stabilizer will be carried out, to have a greater guarantee of its durability.

BITAFAL GROUP AT THE INTERNATIONAL ASPHALT RUBBER CONGRESS

BITAFAL GROUP AT THE INTERNATIONAL ASPHALT RUBBER CONGRESS

We participated in the international congress on asphalt rubber in Malaga, Spain and we learned more on the technology of pre-treated and activated tire powder (RARx)

From June 26 to 29, we were present at the Rubberized Asphalt and Asphalt Rubber (RAR2022) congress held at the Palacio de Congresos in the beautiful city of Malaga. The congress was attended by technicians of the highest level, such as the Nobel Prize winner Kevin Trenberth, and prominent academics such as John Harvey PhD and Peter Sebaaly PhD, among others.

We learned about the latest advances in rubber asphalt technology, especially that achieved by CIRTEC with its RARx product, a product manufactured from NFU (out-of-use tire) powder pretreated with bitumen and other additives of mineral origin. The RARx represents an evolution of the existing technologies to date for incorporating rubber powder as it guarantees the final quality of the mixture and the complete digestion of the rubber powder particles, avoiding the incorporation problems (dry and wet route).

The product is incorporated into the mixture production process as an additive or fine aggregate (dry route) directly into the mixing drum, obtaining a high-performance modified asphalt, resistant to cracks and rutting.

Additionally, we were invited by CIRTEC to witness the manufacturing process of the mixture with the Garrucho company in Puerto Santa María, and finally the laying of the mixture in the city of Chiclana de la Frontera (Andalusia). No problems of any kind were observed, the mixture was made at 170°C, it was moved to the site where it was laid with a Vogele in thicknesses of between 6 and 8 cm, and finally compacted with smooth and then pneumatic as usual. In the images you can see the final quality obtained.

We thank Miguel Angel Sánz from CIRTEC for the kind attention received, and Pedro, Alejandro and Manuel who kindly allowed us to tour the facilities of their asphalt plant.

We will continue studying this innovative product and we will keep you informed about the pilot section that we will carry out in Uruguay.
