Revestimientos bituminosos de las obras hidráulicas

This refers to the suitable use of bitumens in many problems that arise in some hydraulic projects, such as water supply canals, wharf protection, dykes, etc. Due to its high flexibility and waterproofing capacity, it facilitates the construction of works that can resist erosion and collisions, without need to provide dilation joints. Account should also be taken of ease to fit it in place at the working site, which is an additional factor favouring its increasing use.
