THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY, AXIS OF THE XXI CILA

THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY, AXIS OF THE XXI CILA

More than 60% of the works that will be presented have the circular economy as their axis

The outstanding topics are the rejuvenation and recycling of pavements, the use of waste from other industries, the use of low-temperature techniques, among others. That is why the master conferences will be focused on these important issues in a sector highly committed to caring for the environment.

We will have the pleasure of knowing first-hand how countries like Australia and New Zealand base their road management strategy on pavement recycling and surface treatments with Eng. Steve Patrick from the Australian Road Research Board, author of the “Austroads Guide for Pavement Technology Part 4K: Bituminous Irrigation”, which is used as a design and selection guide throughout Australia.

In turn, the commercial exhibition will have the presence of leaders in the industry both in the recycling of pavements and additives and products for a more sustainable road construction.

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.

1st IBERO-AMERICAN MEETING OF NFU IN ASPHALT MIXTURES

1st IBERO-AMERICAN MEETING OF NFU IN ASPHALT MIXTURES

BITAFAL Group participated telling about the experiences carried out in Uruguay

On March 16, this online event organized by the Lemac of the University of La Plata was held, which was attended by almost 600 participants from all over Latin America. The nearly 6-hour event was attended by leading technicians and specialists and discussed topics ranging from end-of-life tire management systems to the rheology of asphalt modified with this shredded material.

In addition to the vast experience in the field that Spain and Portugal have, speakers from Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Chile were added, who are at the forefront in Latin America. From Grupo BITAFAL we contribute the experiences carried out on Route 9 in 2016 as well as the evolution of the Management Systems that work in our country as well as the favorable perspectives that we see in the implementation of this technology in the near future. We attach the program discussed at the Meeting and we hope to be able to share the recorded conferences as soon as possible.
