ECO-COMPATIBLE TECHNOLOGIES: SURFACE INTERVENTIONS
SURFACE TREATMENTS WITH BITUMINOUS EMULSION
Surface treatments are ordinary maintenance operations that make it possible to prolong the working life of paving, delaying the need for reconstruction. These are an efficient way of dealing with certain instabilities, predominantly branching microcracks, bitumen sweating, smoothed aggregates and the beginnings of detachment. They ensure that the conditions necessary to guarantee safety are restored and that the structural characteristics are maintained. Surface treatments with bituminous emulsion are carried out by spraying a film of bituminous emulsion on the paving that has previously been cleaned, laying a layer of grit and then compacting with a rubber roller. These operations can be repeated to obtain a repair with more than one layer.
SINGLE LAYER TREATMENT
Modified bitumen with SBS polymers in 69% water-based emulsion and 4/8 mm grit
DOUBLE LAYER TREATMENT
First coat of modified bitumen with SBS polymers in bituminous emulsion and 8/12 mm grit
ECOVAL® PAVING
Ecological paving: base impregnated with ECOIMPREVAL bituminous emulsion, sprayed with several coats of ECOHELASTOVAL modified bitumen emulsion and grit laid with sizes of 8/12 mm, 4/8 mm
SLURRY SEAL
Cold micro mat with a bituminous mortar made up of SBR polymer modified bituminous emulsion at calibrated break SLURRYVAL and a 0/6 or 0/8 mm basalt mix
ASFALTI A TIEPIDO (Warm Mix Asphalt)
Warm Mix Asphalts – WMA are asphalt concretes made with highly workable modified bitumens, that make it possible to lower the production temperatures while still guaranteeing its consistency and an adequate level of compacting up to 100°C. In warm mix asphalts the production temperatures are between 120 and 150°C with a reduction in the use of fuel of around 1.5kg fuel/T and carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere of 5kgCO2/T. As well as being an eco-sustainable technological solution, in order to prevent and minimise negative impacts on individuals, communities and ecosystems these asphalts allow increased durability, as oxidisation of the bitumen is reduced and compacting is made easier, increasing the working life of the paving and cutting down the need for extraordinary maintenance.
HARD WMA DRAINING WEARING COURSE WITH PmB LOWVAL
A porous asphalt for improving traffic safety (eliminates aquaplaning and gives a strong reduction in the amount of spray from tyres) and for reducing noise pollution (reduces the tangential friction of tyres on the asphalt)
HARD WMA WEARING COURSE WITH PmB LOWVAL
HARD SMA WMA WEARING COURSE WITH PmB LOWVAL
Rough asphalt for improving traffic safety (eliminates aquaplaning and gives a strong reduction in the amount of spray from tyres) and for reducing noise pollution (reduces the tangential friction of tyres on the asphalt)
SOFT WMA WEARING COURSE WITH PmB LOWVAL SF
Rough asphalt for improving traffic safety (eliminates aquaplaning and gives a strong reduction in the amount of spray from tyres) and for reducing noise pollution (reduces the tangential friction of tyres on the asphalt)
