After ten years of research, Fernando Moreno, Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Granada, and Servosis They announced a device intended to analyze the behavior of asphalt.
Already in their student stage, Fernando Moreno was clear that testing on asphalt needed to be taken a step further. The conclusions seemed to him incomplete and the possibility of improving them feasible. Therefore, set itself the goal of designing a new method that would provide more insight into how the passage of vehicles influences the road. and ended up creating the device UGR-FACT. The success was such that it made him worthy of the award for "Best Communication 2015". awarded by the Spanish Association of Asphalt Mix Manufacturers (ASEFMA), to which 37 other projects aspired, and the Robert L'Hermite medalone of the most prestigious awards in the sector.
With the collaboration of Servosis, the Laboratory of Construction Engineering (LabIC), headed by Fernando Moreno, designed a A lightweight device, with reduced dimensions, that allows the evaluation of both individual bituminous mixtures and complete pavement sections and anti-crack solutions.
For its part, Servosis was exclusively commissioned to manufacture a tool that allows high repeatability and reproducibility in its compression and bending cycles. After an arduous process, complete adaptability to the needs of the user was achieved, so that the number of cycles, weight or frequency can be defined by the research leader and obtain, in addition, an infinite number of data from the sensors the tool. Given the good results, It is expected that in the future its implementation will become a national and international standard.
The relationship between the University of Granada and Servosis dates back to the birth of the company in a show of commitment to national research and training. Since its beginnings, Servosis has actively collaborated with universities that carry out projects related to materials scienceThe company is also in constant contact, for example, with the University of Coruña, the Polytechnic University of Madrid and the University of Alicante.
