Within the framework of activities 2025 of the Chair of Sustainable Asphalt Bitafal - UM an important technical day on flexible pavement evaluation was held. It was attended by several construction companies, from the MTOP, of the UMARE Engineering Faculty and UM students and was structured in two presentations, one in charge of CDS Engineers and another by the PHD Martín Scavone.

The representatives of CDS Engineers, Nelson Pintos and Gonzalo Cánepa, analyzed the structural evaluation of pavements through the discontinuous measurement deflectometry technique with the possibility of load settings (LWD, FWD and HWD) and use cases in Uruguay.

For his part, the expert PhD Martín Scavone performed an integral analysis of the evaluation of pavements especially in the deflectometry measurement technique at transit speed (TDS) and its complementation with other analysis methodologies such as IRI, surface texture and visual defect analysis.

Both presentations concluded that a correct evaluation of pavements is necessary and convenient, both from the operational and economic point of view, reducing maintenance costs and improving the usability of the different traffic pathways.

The BitaFal - UM Cas will continue to carry out this type of activities in the coming months, forming students and technicians in the latest world trends aimed at achieving a better road.
