One of the tasks in the final period of the project LIFE-Photoscaling is the placing of the chosen material on the pilot site, José Antonio de Armona street, being Bernardino Obregón street its reference surface. Before performing this, staff from Institute Eduardo Torroja and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) surveyed the neighbours from the district -you can answer the survey in this link– appart from […]

Marta Castellote has presented the LIFE Photoscaling project in CONAMA2018, Rumbo 20.30. You can check the whole programme here. And don’t forget to visit the webpage of CONAMA.
Scientists of CSIC have developed and patented a method to measure the potential emission of nanoparticles in building materials, simulating various processes of abrasion. Moreover, the device has been tested recently and the results surpass the expectations. More information about the device here.
Marta Castellote has met with the SedNet Steering Group in Hamburg (Germany). There, she has explained the proposal of the inclussion of photocatalysts in building materials which incorporate of dredged sediments.
After the cleaning performed by the Madrid City Council, we have collected the leachates.
We continue simulating real life conditions over our products, which is one of the tasks in LIFE Photoscaling project. Today, for the third time, a company subcontracted by Madrid City Council has cleaned the platforms in Madrid. This time, the process of cleaning does not include the removing of graffiti paintings.
Today, BECSA and Primlab have visited the installation of the European Project LIFE Photoscaling. Marta Castellote and Eva Jiménez have shown the platform in Madrid with the three banks of proofs and the rest of materials.
Yesterday, UPM (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) and Madrid City Council staff met in Eduardo Torroja Institute for Construction Sciences. They dealt topics as the frictional tests, emission of particles, pollution in the streets.
