en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sika, in collaboration with EQA Laboratorios, conducted a technical seminar to verify the real-world performance of advanced solutions for infrastructure and industrial buildings through real-world testing under controlled conditions. Held on April 15 in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, the event attracted nearly a hundred professionals from the real estate and engineering sectors.
Under the theme "Innovative Systems for Retrofitting Infrastructure and Industrial Buildings," the seminar focused on application scenarios. Attendees observed multiple live tests and consulted with expert teams from Sika and EQA Laboratorios on technical details. This format allowed participants to deeply analyze the performance, limitations, and applicability of different technologies under specific working conditions, particularly in key areas such as safety, durability, and efficiency.
Rafael Fontalba, CEO of EQA Laboratorios, stated that such events are crucial for professionals to verify the actual effectiveness of solutions in addressing complex structural challenges, offering opportunities for face-to-face learning and problem-solving with experts. Cristobal Lopez-Cortijo, Sales Manager of Sika's Infrastructure Engineering Systems, noted that collaborating with reference centers like EQA to host seminars helps translate construction innovations into enhanced safety, durability, and efficiency in the infrastructure sector.
During the seminar, Sika experts conducted several technical tests. For instance, they demonstrated methods to improve the load-bearing capacity of concrete structures using resin-bonded carbon fiber systems. A range of new products was also introduced, including FPO membrane bonding systems, self-healing systems, and integrated systems for solar panel installation. Additionally, engineers showcased structural anchoring and pavement technologies, explaining the use and application scenarios of water-reactive grouting and high-chemical-resistance coatings. EQA Laboratorios stated that these seminars provide an excellent platform to showcase work results, exchange experiences, and drive the industry toward innovation, safety, and greater resilience.
Lopez-Cortijo concluded that the seminar offered an opportunity to address technical questions and share a practical learning space with industry professionals. He also emphasized the support from EQA Laboratorios in terms of facilities, qualified personnel, and advanced equipment, ensuring the rigor of the tests.
