In recent days, @PARMAINGENIERIA hosted the participants of the PIARC Terminology Committee meeting (World Road Association). This meeting allowed for progress in the editing of the eighth edition of the PIARC Technical Road Dictionary. It was a pleasure to welcome the committee members and their president @bernadjacob in Barcelona.
On October 16 and 17, 2024, the 27th Vyodeal was held at the Paranimf of the Escola Industrial for the 27th National Meeting of Roads and Local Administration Works. We were present with our exclusive partner Logirroad.
This event was organized by the Spanish Road Association (AEC) and the Barcelona Provincial Council. It brought together engineers and local administrations involved in the management and maintenance of road infrastructure in Spain, putting road safety at the center of the discussions.
During the round table titled “CHALLENGES OF SAFE, GREEN AND CONNECTED MOBILITY”, moderated by Jacobo Díaz Pineda, Anna PARÍS, CEO of Parma Ingenieria S.L , spoke at the conference on sustainable pavement management.
Anna Paris presented the Logiroad Center software, an innovative solution to optimize the management of road infrastructure that is developed by the company Logirroad. During his intervention, he highlighted the key characteristics of this tool, which allows for an in-depth analysis of the condition of the pavements, effective planning of interventions and strengthening the sustainability of road networks. Developed specifically to respond to current challenges, Logiroad Center proposes a connected and sustainable approach to infrastructure management.
World Engineering Day is celebrated on March 4 each year, honoring the work and contributions of engineers around the globe. This day highlights the vital role engineers play in solving problems, developing new technologies, and enhancing people’s quality of life.
At Parma Ingeniería, we are committed to contributing to the development and well-being of society through the planning, design, and management of sustainable, humane, and diverse infrastructures.
Happy Engineering Day!
Reception of TV-3141 to Reus.
Today, November 13, 2023, the inspection visit and provisional reception of the “Local Improvement” works was carried out. Bike lane. Longitudinal drainage and removable ditches on the TV-3141 highway from KP 4+700 to 6+500 (Rotonda Blancafort). Reus. Key: MT-16058”.
These works include a section of cycle path and pedestrian path between the Blancafort and Aigüesverds Urbanizations in Reus, on the TV-3141 road from Reus in Cambrils, with a length of almost two kilometers.
The budgets for the works have been €1.31 million for Lot 1 with the company Sorigué as contractor and €315k for Lot 2 with the company Segusenyal. The Construction Management was carried out by Parma Ingenieria S.L. for Infraestructures.cat and under the supervision of the Territorial Highway Service of Tarragona and the Reus City Council.
In a rehabilitation work on the pavement of the A-23 highway, between PPKK 250,700 to 277,600 (Zaragoza), nearly 30,000 t of semi-hot bituminous mixtures, types AC 22 bin S 35/50 and AC 16 surf, have been put into work. These were manufactured at an average temperature of 131 °C, that is, about 30 °C below the typical temperature of conventional hot production, thanks to the use of a bitumen foamer in the manufacturing plant.
According to the results of the production control and on-site control tests, the semi-hot mixes have satisfied the volumetric and mechanical requirements of equivalent conventional hot bituminous mixes. The article in the magazine RUTAS (Nº195) shows, in addition to the temperature reduction procedure used and the results of the tests, the economic, technical and environmental advantages of producing bituminous mixtures at low temperatures are reviewed. More specifically, they have tried to quantify those obtained in this case, concluding that life cycle analysis is the ideal tool to adequately assess the set of improvements found. Finally, some recommendations are made related to the reference density and water sensitivity of semi-hot bituminous mixtures.

Parma Engineering is awarded the Construction Management of the new Infrastructure project of the Generalitat of Catalonia. Today, the construction of a new 1,800 m stretch of bike lane and the remodeling of the longitudinal drainage in TV-3141 have begun.
Work: “Local improvement works. Bike lane, longitudinal drainage and removable gutters on the TV-3141 road from KP 4+700 to 6+500 (Blancafort roundabout). Reus. Code: MT-16058” with a tender budget of €1,910,544.10, was awarded on 11/18/2022 to the construction company Auxiliar de Firmes y Carreteras (AFICSA) and Segusenyal SL and has an expected execution period of 5 months.
The objective of the project is to improve road safety on TV-3141 by converting the current deep ditch into a traversable ditch, which will also be compatible with the construction of a new bike lane.
Infrastructure of the Generalitat of Catalonia commissioned Parma Engineering to carry out the project “Rehabilitation of the factory work, stabilization of the slopes and improvement of the surface drainage of the C-58 from PK 23+900 to 24+600. “Viladecavalls.” With a planned budget allocation of €975,000 and 6 months for its writing.
Access to be able to define the best technical solution proposal and its corresponding assessment for a viaduct of 190m in length and variable heights of up to more than 30m would be much more imprecise without being able to support ourselves with the high-precision images provided by the new drones. These drones allow us to reach all the impossible access points such as the neoprene of the piles, the interior part between the different beams…

At Parma Engineering we are applying drone inspections to different projects and to the three Framework Contracts for Firms, Structures and Geological Assets of the Generalitat of Catalonia in the province of Girona, in Tarragona and in Terres del Ebre.

Parma Engineering has developed a project for the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda titled: “Structural rehabilitation of the road surface and implementation of the Cycle Route. Highway N-330. Mileage points 633,240 to 642,790. Section: Sabiñánigo – Jaca. Province of Huesca.”
This project has a budget of 3.3 million euros and an expected execution period of 8 months, covering 9.5 km of the N-330 highway between Sabiñánigo and Jaca. A notable aspect of this project is the introduction of a bicycle lane on a conventional interurban road, which will involve limiting vehicle speed to 50 km/h. Additionally, appropriate horizontal and vertical signage will be implemented to ensure that bicycle lanes have priority over general traffic at intersections and highway accesses.
General plan of the project
This will increase safety on this section of the popular Quebrantahuesos cycling route.

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a powerful tool that enables users to compile and manage information about every aspect of a project. It has gained significant traction in recent years, particularly in architectural works. At Parma Ingeniería, we have been utilizing BIM for some time now, both during the project drafting phase and in the management of several of our road contracts.
The main advantages of BIM (Building Information Modeling) include:
At Parma Ingeniería, we have successfully implemented the BIM methodology within our company, completing the drafting of 9 projects for the Generalitat of Catalonia and Infrastructures.cat. Additionally, we have participated in the execution of 9 contracts for the construction and rehabilitation of linear works, serving either as construction management or technical assistance. In all these cases, BIM modeling has provided significant improvements in project outcomes.
