Milan translation of graphene road tests october1 Jun 2020 13:19
Milan Graphene Road Testing results due !
"On the indication of the Metropolitan City of Milan, the experimentation consists in the reconstruction of the three layers of the road pavement (base, binder, wear) of a stretch of about 500 meters of the Provincial Road 35 Milan-Meda, from km 133 + 300 to 132 + 850 towards Milan. In detail: 200 meters using modified 'Hard' bitumen and 250 meters with asphalt containing the supermodifier with graphene Gipave.
At the beginning of October, on the other hand, two layers of the road pavement (base and wear) of a 600-meter stretch on the Provincial Road 40 Lacchiarella, from km 3 + 850 to km 4 + 900, are scheduled. In detail: 300 meters with asphalt modified with Gipave and 300 meters with modified 'Soft' bitumen.
An independent certified laboratory will take care of the tests and monitoring of the pavements through checks both during the production and installation of the asphalt, with the collection and analysis of samples, and in the following months through coring and dynamic tests, directly on the road.
"We often hear about the roads only in the negative because of potholes or traffic, but not everyone knows that already today it is possible to create green, high-tech, highly resistant, eco-sustainable and 100% recyclable floors, thanks to a technology made in Italy Four years ago, taking advantage of a call from the Lombardy Region, we started studying and designing a graphene additive in our laboratories and testing its effects on asphalt with impressive results in terms of duration and increase in the useful life of the flooring. in the Metropolitan City of Milan, we can continue the road tests to collect further data with a project that meets all the requirements set out in the tender specifications in force in Italy ", underlines Federica Giannattasio, CEO of Iterchimica."
