The main objective of this project is to develop a new sustainable pavement with increased durability through incorporation of recycled glass aggregate, recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), and the use of low-energy consumption tempered mixtures. 

ALBEPAV, which will last 34 months, is being developed by a consortium that includes COMSA, Sorigué, and Progeo, with the subcontracting of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia.

To this end, the consortium seeks to develop a new low-energy consumption pavement that can significantly contribute to the reduction of the “Heat Island” phenomenon by making changes in the design of the mixture that reduce the radiation absorbed by the pavement, and thus also the heat it releases into the environment.

The project will include the building of a test track, which will be subject to monitoring and analysis of its thermal behaviors.
