When different construction teams work on the same road section, why does the smoothness vary?
The cause must lie with the paver! So here’s the question:
Which method delivers better smoothness—using a single paver with extendable screed plates or two pavers working simultaneously?
- First, a single paver ensures maximum road smoothness. In other words, it guarantees consistency in the cross-slope across the entire road section. A single machine has an absolute advantage in this regard.
- Second, it eliminates the hot joint between two machines. No matter how well the joint is treated, it remains prone to water seepage and longitudinal cracking over time.
- Finally, using one machine reduces certain costs.
The drawback of a single paver is slightly lower efficiency and more complex site transitions. Unless pressed by tight deadlines, prioritize using a single paver for the entire project.
Got it?
