Propuesta para la implementación del laboratorio de emulsiones y cementos asfálticos en la empresa Idicol S.A.S

Abstract

In this work we seek to give a proposal for the implementation of a laboratory for the company IDCIOL S.A.S. which is responsible for testing for the quality of materials, where the implementation of the laboratory can allow the execution of tests for asphalt materials, such as asphalt emulsions and asphalt cements, in addition to meeting the need that the company has to cover the management and testing of these materials to increase competition in the market for quality control of construction materials. The implementation will take into account the specifications of the entities that regulate the use of these materials. Some of the tests applied to these materials are ductility, viscosity, distillation, softening point, penetration and some others. In addition, the space where the equipment and supplies can be adapted to start up the laboratory is evaluated, as well as the budget corresponding to the adaptation of the laboratory and the training plan for the personnel who will be in charge of the execution of the tests together with the preparation of the report formats where the results of each test can be appreciated.
