In San Marino there will be a seminar on modified asphalts promoted by the University of San Marino and AALSP and organised in collaboration with the Engineers’ Associations of the city of Rimini. 4 Professional Training Credits shall be given to the accredited engineers.

Organised by Ecopneus, the University of the Studies of the Republic of San Marino and the State’s Autonomous Company for Public Works (Azienda Autonoma di Stato per i Lavori Pubblici – AASLP) of the Republic of San Marino, in collaboration with the Engineers’ Association of Rimini, the event is addresses to designers, managing bodies, and builders of the road sector.
The seminar will see the attendance of productive bodies that deal with the evolution of the transformation procedures, and Public Bodies involved in the designing and management of the works. The aim of this seminar is to offer motivational and management suggestions, as well as evaluations on the efficacy of the creation of SBR-modified asphalts years after their installation.
The seminar wants to create a network to stimulate the exchange of knowledge among the various players of the long road chain (strategic-management bodies, design, production, building and maintenance management), with the aim of raising the awareness on the use of innovative technologies and materials such as SBR-modified asphalts. Indeed, these asphalts allow important functional and environmental benefits, offering a wide range of all the current modalities of use available on the national territory.
Indeed, SBR-modified bitumen and bituminous conglomerates allow a consistent reduction of the noise generated by the rolling of tyres, auseful life of the road surface that is up to three times longer compared to traditional asphalts, a greater resistance to the creation of cracks and potholes, and greater safety, thanks to its optimal adherence and water drainage. Such advantages can already be found on over 470km of roads in Italy that have been made with this technology. The latter allows the Public Administration and Management Bodies to better invest their resources for road infrastructures. This implies great benefits in terms of quality of life and reduction of users’ discomfort.
Free attendance, limited places. For info and registration, by 12th April: andrea.grilli@unirsm.sm
FOR ENGINEERS
The seminar lasts for 4 hours. Those who will have attended 100% of the hours, they will have the right to the awarding of 4 Professional Training Credits as per National Engineers’ Association (CNI) regulation. To obtain the Professional Training Credits, the engineers must register at: www.associazionecongenia.it.
