LA VILLA – LAS TABLAS HIGHWAY

 

This project consisted of the design and construction of 25 kilometers of highway, rehabilitating the existing two-lane road and building two additional parallel lanes. As part of the project, seven vehicular and ten pedestrian bridges were built, 350,000 cubic meters of earth and 390,000 cubic meters of base and sub-base materials were moved. As a novelty, the technique known as “rubblization” was used, which consists of reducing the existing concrete slabs into rubble and then placing a layer of asphalt, accelerating the construction process. This technology transformed the rigid pavement into a flexible pavement, ensuring the uniformity of the structure and guaranteeing quality and durability.
