In this issue, Los Serranos - Eiffage Infraestructuras SA has been awarded in recognition of its R&D project "Eco-luminescent asphalt pavements - FECOLUM". Project supported by CDTI and European Funds ERDF.
FECOLUM is a project whose main objective is the development of low-cost and highly sustainable asphalt pavements with high light transmission or luminance for urban and interurban roads, capable of achieving energy savings in public lighting through the possible use of recycled glass or other materials.
At present, one of the environmental priorities The most important aspect is energy saving or efficiency in any of the activities carried out by mankind. In this project we have tried to contribute to this action through the design of asphalt surfaces or pavements with high light transmittance or luminance, using techniques and materials that provide them with luminescent characteristics.
