XXI CILA IN URUGUAY

XXI CILA IN URUGUAY

The most important event in the Spanish-speaking world of asphalt passed through Uruguay from November 20 to 25

We had the pleasure of receiving more than 1,000 participants from 25 countries at the Enjoy Punta del Este Hotel Convention Center in what was the largest CILA held to date.
With great pride we tell you that the positive comments about the event have not stopped coming, both about the organization and the technical part, about the commercial exhibition as well as about the social events.
The Congress was held in conjunction with the 13th Uruguayan Highway Congress, which had a high level of technical work and participation as well.
The nearly 300 technical papers and 6 magisterial conferences were presented simultaneously in the 3 rooms that we can assure were always very complete.
We highlight the level of the master conferences and the exhibitors who had the courtesy to participate in the event and tell us in detail about their areas of specialization related to the Circular Economy, the motto of this Congress.
A highlight of the event were the simultaneous conferences that were held in a room with 7 screens and headphones for the participants that allowed the presentations to be heard correctly and gave flexibility to see many works in a short space of time. An experience that we believe should be repeated in future CILAs.
Another differential were the Commercial Conferences, which were always in a full room, by renowned companies such as KRATON, BASF, CIRTEC, INGEVITY and BITAFAL, which had their space to present the trends that drive the asphalt industry.

The commercial exhibition, which had an area of ​​more than 4000 m2 between indoor and outdoor spaces, was attended by 50 exhibiting companies that showed the latest advances in equipment, products and services related to the road sector. In particular, the commercial exhibition had more than 30 pieces of equipment, several of them large and that showed a high level of technology. In addition, the giant screen to watch the World Cup matches made the Montecarlo room a meeting point and emotions throughout the week.

The social activities were really the highlight of several participants compared to the Congress level. The opening and inauguration Cocktail of the Commercial Exhibition on Monday, a soccer match on the beach to experience the World Cup atmosphere, the integration day at MACA on Wednesday and the closing lunch on Friday that was overflowing with people since more than 600 people were still at the Closing Ceremony of the XXI CILA.

The BITAFAL Group, as a diamond sponsor of the Congress, had one of the main stands in the Foyer that was really full of people and was present at the outdoor Expo with double spreaders and other equipment.

We present three technical papers in the plenary room and one technical paper in a simultaneous room. On Monday the 21st we present “SAMI MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE AFTER 11 YEARS”, “SEAL COAT WITH GLASS POWDER TO IMPROVE SLIP RESISTANCE” and “USE OF DSR FOR QUALITY CONTROL OF EMULSIONS”. On Tuesday 22 on the "EVALUATION OF THE FIRST SECTION WITH TIRE DUST FROM URUGUAY" and on Thursday we presented on "EVALUATION OF THERMAL ADHERENT EMULSIONS WITH DSR".

A big thank you to all those who have participated in it in all modalities, exhibitors, speakers, participants, organizers, onlookers, friends and family, we hope to meet you all again in the next edition to be held in Seville in 2024.

We share a note from the congress made by the MTOP: https://www.gub.uy/ministerio-transporte-obras-publicas/comunicacion/noticias/uruguay-es-sede-del-xxi-congreso-ibero-latinoamericano-del-asfalto

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.
