In mid 2019 we were privileged to work with and provide this flume shaping system to Realm Construction Inc. The custom drum weighed around 1000 lbs with 8′ wings and an 8′ wide pan, making it 24′ wide and 52″ in diameter. It was pulled along by a cable trolley on both sides and was powered by our Hydra-Screed. The drum’s spinning action brought “cream and fat” to the surface and pushed the aggregate down, without slumping the sides to the bottom. Approved by the Missouri Department of Transportation, this set up allowed for a continuous pour that eliminated the following:
• Construction joints on both sides of the flume bottom
• Doweling
• Redundant cross forming
• Downtime for mucking out along wings and pan after rain
• Minimum of 600+ man-hours
• Inconsistencies and low spots
This is the best way to cost-effectively place small to large ditch paving and concrete flumes. Visit https://www.forconstructionpros.com/concrete/article/21171926/curb-roller-manufacturing-roll-of-the-dice-on-onramp-project-yields-returns-in-time-and-costs to read more about this job.
