"Ecological" pavement at Puertito de la Cruz and Cofete.
The test carried out today, key to the paving project "without environmental affect" that would respond to a "historical claim".
The Area of Infrastructure, Roads and Territorial Planning of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, directed by President Sergio Lloret, has carried out today, Wednesday, November 16, a test of application of a consolidating and stabilizing product for the paving, "in an ecological way and without environmental affectation", of the road that runs between Morro Jable, Puertito de la Cruz and Cofete and that is part of the Natural Park of Jandía, in the municipality of Pájara.
This is an indispensable preliminary step, as explained by the president during the test, to "give environmental viability" to the project that, from the Infrastructure Service of the Insular Institution, is intended to process to carry out the paving of the road.
A paving for which, considering the status of Protected Natural Park that affects the area, it is essential that it is "compatible with the preservation" of the same, which is why a type of "alternative, ecological pavement, which not only avoids any negative environmental effect, but, on the contrary, contributes to positive effects ", The President explained.
"It is important that the neighbors and visitors of the Southern Region of Fuerteventura know that we do not forget them and that we are and will continue working to meet all the demands that can be carried out to respond to the historical claims that have been transferred to us by the neighbors of this area of the Island", emphasized the Lloret.
In this way, the Insular Institution would respond to the historical demand of the Southern Region with a project that, as expressed by the mayor of Pájara, Pedro Armas, "would be a before and after in his life, so today we want to thank the Cabildo because, finally, actions are beginning to be seen, not just promises as in decades ago. "
While waiting for the tests to bear fruit to confirm the consolidation of the project, the municipal mayor wishes that today's act serves "to culminate with this need and historical claim so necessary for both neighbors and visitors to Cofete."
Along the same lines, the president of the Cofete Neighborhood Association, Bienvenida Díaz, stressed that "although it is true that there is a train that there was not before, the pressure suffered by this road is incredible; The number of vehicles that transit it triples and quadruples every year and it is no longer enough with the passage of the receiving train every month and a half. "
Ecological pavement respecting the natural environment
As explained during the application of the test product for the ecological paving of the road, the compound used, despite being able to withstand a traffic similar to that supported by other materials such as asphalt or concrete, unlike these, would not leave an environmental footprint.
Among other detailed aspects regarding the product, its powder production was specified, which would avoid affecting hydraulic resources, as well as the absence of polymers, which would guarantee the organic degradation of the compound.
Without heavy metals, with permeable materials, which would make the paving suitable for hydraulic filtration, and without silicates harmful to agriculture, the product is made with a type of dehydrated resin capable of providing flexibility to the road, avoiding cracks and expansion joints.
