CONFERENCE ON SURFACE TREATMENTS AT THE QUIMIKAO CONGRESS (MEXICO)

CONFERENCE ON SURFACE TREATMENTS AT THE QUIMIKAO CONGRESS (MEXICO)

We tell you about our participation in the 12th International QuimiKao Seminar in Los Cabos.

From May 17 to 20, 2022, we participated in the biannual event developed by the QuimiKao company, on this occasion as exhibitors, where we emphasized the transformation process that our country is experiencing at the level of road infrastructure. The magnificent synergy experienced by stabilized bases and surface treatments was commented on, where one needs the other for a greater extension of the useful life of the road.

They commented on the great growth experienced by recycling and on-site stabilization teams in Uruguay, where we went from 0 to more than 30 teams in just 8 years, improving the quality of more than 2,500 kilometers of highways. This fact has marked a milestone at the national and regional level, which today allows us to apply surface treatments with a higher degree of certainty in terms of life expectancy. We also commented on the change process that Grupo Bitafal began towards emulsion performance specifications (EPG), which allow us to choose the level of polymerization of the emulsion for a given traffic and climate.

The seminar also had its deserved share of relaxation and integration, where we shared a morning soccer game and a day of walking around Cabo San Lucas. We thank the entire QuimiKao team for their generosity, their hospitality and for giving us the opportunity to spread the innumerable advantages that surface treatments present; and finally congratulate you for the successful completion of the seminar. We hope to see each other in future editions to continue learning together.

SURFACE TREATMENTS COURSE IN ORURO (BOLIVIA)

SURFACE TREATMENTS COURSE IN ORURO (BOLIVIA)

In this post-pandemic reality, we return to virtuality to share experiences of superficial treatments with professionals from the Department of Oruro and other parts of Latin America.

This April we were invited by the Telesma Group and the Society of Engineers of Bolivia (Department of Oruro) to teach a virtual course that delves into the topic of our book “High Performance Superficial Treatments”, where we had the presence of various professionals from the continent in an intensive 4-day workshop.

Among the topics discussed we talked about the importance that surface treatments are already having in the new economic reality left by Covid, and more recently the invasion of Russia to Ukraine. In addition to the growing environmental pressure, the increases in the price of asphalt and fuels are redefining preventive and maintenance strategies, presenting an opportunity for the growth of emulsions and the final eradication of diluted asphalt in the market.

We also review the concepts of tests to the materials, selection of treatments, design and construction of risks with gravel, with a master presentation by Daniel Zenteno de Quimitec to treat the design and construction of microaglomerate.

We highlight the interest of the participants and thank the organizers the proposal of this type of initiatives that allow us to transcend borders to share experiences.
