WITH THE SUPPORT OF BITAFAL, URUGUAYAN ENGINEERS STAND OUT IN THE CILA

WITH THE SUPPORT OF BITAFAL, URUGUAYAN ENGINEERS STAND OUT IN THE CILA

The twenty-second edition of the Ibero-Latin American Asphalt Congress was held with great success in Granada, Spain.

An important Uruguayan delegation, made up of engineers from the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works, representatives of the BITAFAL company and other construction companies in Uruguay, met at the largest event of the Ibero-American road industry, having an outstanding participation in the plenary session of the event, with the presentation of research works of high academic level.

The Technical Director of BITAFAL and CILA Delegate in Uruguay, Santiago Kröger, highlighted the quality of the presentations of the Uruguayan technicians, indicating that “we are proud that a delegation of young engineers from our country interact at the level of technicians from the developed world. "This makes us believe that the path that the public sector is taking together with the private company will be reflected in quality public road work that is sustainable and for the benefit of all Uruguayans."

The joint effort of MTOP and BITAFAL allowed 12 engineers from the Ministry to be present at this important event. Throughout the week, they presented their technical works, which in many cases arise from the application of innovative techniques and materials in public works in our country. The initiative had a great impact on the organization of this edition, which is why BITAFAL received recognition for the effort made during the special Congress awards ceremony.

As for the most notable topics discussed, they were innovations in digitalization, use of artificial intelligence and road connectivity, so much so that the Founders Award went to a work on the matter. Uruguay is not far away and presented technological solutions for monitoring road construction and the general condition of routes and highways, through the development of specific applications with these functionalities.

Sustainability remains the most important topic of the Congress with a multitude of technical works on recycling, use of tire dust, warm mixtures and all their combinations as well as environmental statements and calculations on the reduction of the carbon footprint.

Other notable topics are advances in new testing methodologies on asphalt mixtures, the use of waste from other industries, balanced mixture design and self-repair of pavements.

The next edition of CILA will be in Paraguay in November 2025 and an excellent Uruguayan presence is once again predicted, both in quantity and technical quality of its members.

CILA 2024 ARRIVES IN GRANADA, SPAIN... AND BITAFAL IS THE PROTAGONIST!

The next edition of the Ibero-Latin American Asphalt Congress, one of the largest road industry events in the world, will take place next April in Granada, Spain.

From April 22 to 26, the most prominent Ibero-American professionals in the field will meet, presenting research and technological developments, in a fundamental sector for the social and economic growth of the region.

For BITAFAL it is a great pride to be the promoter of this Congress with our Technical Director Santiago Kröger participating as CILA Delegate and as a reviewer in the Technical Committee of said event. On the other hand, we will be present with various technical works and collaborating in the moderation of sessions during it.
At the same time, we are promoting the participation of Uruguayan specialists from the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP) by sponsoring a contest to bring the authors who have been selected to participate in it. With great pride we can say that Uruguay will be the protagonist since it has sent 15 technical works, being among the Top 5 of countries that have sent the most communications.
We share with you the CILA preparation podcast, where Santiago addresses advances in paving technology for low-traffic roads (BIT), one of the topics that will surely be present during the congress.
