| Specifically, 200,000 kilos are used per year, which is being used for tree pits, gardens or green paths | The Murcia City Council, through the Department of Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration directed by José Guillén, is carrying out the regeneration and contribution of albero to the parks and gardens of the municipality.Specifically, 200,000 kilos are used per year, which is being used for tree pits, gardens or trails.
The replacement is carried out when the technicians detect that the area has suffered some drag (incidence related to water, thus achieving a more homogeneous surface.In the tree pits it has an accessibility and security function, to avoid unevenness on the sidewalks.
In addition, this sand facilitates the irrigation of the trees, allowing the water to pass to the subsoil, with a greater oxygenation of the specimens."With the replacement of albero, after the episodes of rain and wind, we ensure that the parks and gardens are in perfect condition so that the little ones and their families can enjoy a land adapted for them.
We work to beautify the green areas and favor the transit of places to run and walk in a more comfortable and safe way, promoting outdoor activity "has highlighted José Guillén.In order to ensure that the albero remains firm and stable, a manual or automatic compactor is used once it is in place to guarantee its stability.
It is then sprayed with water to set it on the ground.The albero has different colors, although the most characteristic in the municipality of Murcia is yellow, although other types such as red, brown or brown have also been used in different spaces.Goethite is the substance responsible for its characteristic ocher color, the concentration of this mineral being variable depending on the quarry.The albero is obtained in the municipalities of the towns of the Los Alcores region: Alcalá de Guadaíra, Mairena del Alcor, El Viso del Alcor and Carmona in Seville.
