Project Renewal Avenue D. José Alves Correia da Silva - Fatima 1º week

Avenue D. José Alves Correia da Silva, Fátima, Ourém, Portugal

We started on May 7, 2012, a team of four calceteiros, the work of cobblestone paving in one of the busiest avenues in the town of Fatima.
This reclassification is part of the "Action Programme for Urban Regeneration of Fatima", Roc2c mission, portuguese stone paving.
The parking areas and car traffic are composed of dark gray granite, with dimensions 10x20x10cm. The settlement is made in the row, like herringbone, alternating the direction of the same in the parking lot and the track. The white limestone, with dimensions 10x10x10cm, is used to delimit the ditch line and the axis of the highway as marking.
On the 1st day of work, the rain caused us some trouble, but despite this, the work took place naturally. After defining the dimensions and alignments, paving began.
In the following days, and gradually, the sun was present, allowing our team of calceteiros a good work rate, with an average of 200 square meters per day.
Fátima is a place of religious cult and given the proximity of the celebrations of May 13, 1917, Fatima apparitions,, there are already thousands pilgrims who complete the journey, noting each day a greater influx of people.
