Seminar “Green Roads and Reduction of Noise in Poland”


On 4th of December an international seminar dedicated to a very important topic – green roads and reduction of noise in Poland took place. The seminary that was organized by Bisek Company in cooperation with Technical University of Wrocław, took place in a seat of Bisek. What is more, this event has been taken under a patronage of Marek Łapiński who is the Marshall of Lower Silesian voivodship.

The main goal of the seminar was to talk about skill-sharing connected with using asphalt modified by rubber, which is used to build very modern and environmental-friendly roads, in both Poland and the USA.

There were many famous quests who arrived to Poland in order to take part in the seminary such as well known expert - Professor Serji Amirkhanian from Clemson University in South Carolina in the USA. Poland was represented by Technical University Professor – Antoni Szydło, and dr Henryk Koba. Zbigniew Szczygieł – from the Office of Marshall of Lower Silesian voivodship and Adam Bisek – the head of Bisec Company, which produces modified and environmental-friendly asphalt.

Modified asphalt guarantees better grip of vehicles and shortens the breaking distance by 25 %. Rubber road means also noise decrease on the road by 4 decibels. However the biggest merit of modified asphalt is that it solves the problem of utilisation of used tyres, which land on illegal rubbish.

In Canada, the USA or Sweden, the rubber motorways have been being built for 15 years now. In Wrocław there are 30 test sections of such roads.
