Sobratema Workshop 2016 will include two panels that will bring technical information about asphalt and soil compaction

In April 6, the Sobratema – Brazilian Association of Technology for Construction and Mining will carry out a new edition of the Sobratema Workshop, debating the theme “Compaction – Technologies and Concepts”. With an innovative format, the event will include two panels that will bring information about two subjects: technologies for asphalt compaction and technologies for soil compaction.

 According to Paulo Oscar Auler Neto, vice-president of Sobratema, the purpose of promoting two panels is to ensure a comprehensive debate and to give more specific knowledge about the equipment involved in each subject, in a way to contribute to spread technical innovations that are being used or will be used in the country. “Information updating is certainly a strategic tool for the professionals that work in the construction industry, since it may help, for example, the selection of the machine that better fits the job, increasing productivity and efficiency”, explains him.

Each panel of the Sobratema Workshop will deal with subjects related to its specific area. The first one, turned to soil compaction, will deal with technologies of sheepsfoot and flat vibratory compactors, in addition to tamping compactors and specific applications in rockfill. Other approach proposed is to show the differences of amplitude, frequency, layer thickness and other technical subjects for asphalt and soil compactors.

In the second panel, which deals with asphalt compaction, the experts will talk about the technologies of vibratory tandem compactors, combined compactors, tire compactors and asphalt finisher tampers. Information about work methodologies, compaction measurement, management systems, monitoring and prevention of accidents, differences between vibratory and oscillating compactors and use of static rollers will also be explained.

To deal with these subjects, Sobratema invited the main manufacturers of compaction equipment. “They have expertise to talk about the manufacturing concepts proposed when designing each equipment. Therefore, the participants will have a unique opportunity to take part in a consistent technical debate about several technologies, their benefits and their disadvantages”, says Auler Neto. Experts of Atlas Copco, Bomag Marini, Ammann Group and XCMG will participate of the first panel. The presence of professionals from Caterpillar, Hamm (Wirtgen Group) and Volvo Construction Equipment was confirmed for the second panel.

The Sobratema Workshop is directed to professionals from contractors, engineering companies, rental companies, dealers and manufacturers. The event will be carried out in São Paulo, at the CBB (Brazilian British Center).
