On July 16, a asphalt emulsion workshop was held in the halls of the University of Montevideo by our General Director Santiago Kröger and our Work Manager, Liber Sánchez.

More than 50 people from the MTOP, of construction companies and students accompanied us to deepen the foundations of asphalt emulsions, manufacturing forms, best manipulation and application practices. The workshop seeks to approach with practical examples with a lot of interaction with those present about the advantages of the use of asphalt emulsions and mitigate the prejudices that exist on its use.

At the end of it, a practical part with two laboratory tables was carried out to see dosages of bituminous treatments, primary emulsion penetration tests, cold microaglomerate dosage as well as collectable cold mixtures.

This training is framed in the schedule of the Chair of Sustainable Asphalt Cas BitaFal-MUM and it is planned to be carried out annually. We encourage them to follow the novelties for future training.
