The BioRoadPAV at the largest european conference in transports (TRA 2022)

The BioRoadPAV project was presented in Lisbon at the largest european conference in transports (TRA 2022)

The BioRoadPAV Project was presented in Lisbon at the largest european conference in transports - Transport Research Arena Conference (TRA 2022) - which took place from 14th to 17th of November at the Lisbon Congress Centre. In session 3.2.2 – Intelligent, resilient and cooperative infrastructure systems – the paper entitled “Research on innovative biobinders for sustainable road pavements – The BioRoadPAV Project” was presented. In addition, the poster of the paper was exhibited in the poster’s session. In this edition in Lisbon, more than a thousand experts shared their knowledge and experiences around the theme “Moving together – reimagining mobility worldwide”.

10th Portuguese Road and Rail Conference

participation in the 10th Portuguese Road and Rail Conference

The 10th Portuguese Road and Rail Conference was held from July 5th to 7th at the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering, Lisbon. LUSASFAL was presented at the technical exhibition where, at Stand 9, it promoted the BioRoadPAV project. In Parallel Session Nº1, held on July 5th from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm in the Main Auditorium of the Congress Center, the project was presented through the paper "Innovation on biobinders for application in road pavements" (Paper Nº 20). During the three days, the conference had more than three hundred participants who intensively discussed the most current topics on the digitization and transformation of the transport system.

BioRoadPAV Project

The BioRoadPAV project started on June 1, 2021, to strengthen research, technological development and innovation in the road construction sector.

The project consists of several activities, from the initial design of the new bio binders to the final validation of their application on the road, which involves a multidisciplinary team of 17 researchers and other professionals. The project completion deadline is scheduled for June 2023.

Production of bio emulsions and construction of full-scale trial sections

After two years of intense laboratory research, it was possible for the company LUSASFAL – Derivados Asfálticos de Portugal, S.A. – to produce two bio-emulsions containing transformed bio-oil originating from wood waste processed through the innovative thermochemical liquefaction. The two bio-emulsions are for application in tack coats and surface coatings. The bio-emulsions were used in two pilot sections built by Construções J.J.R. & Filhos, S.A., in Alcácer do Sal and Rio Maior in June 2023. In particular, the pilot section of Rio Maior was part of the IC2 road rehabilitation between Asseiceira and Freires of Infraestruturas de Portugal. Quality control of each pilot section was the responsibility of IST and LNEC.
