Innovative technology implemented in ETA project

It's all hands on deck, with the ETA shared path project in full swing.

Local contractors May Concrete Placers have been laying down the path with the weather staying fine allowing for a decent pour this week. A motorised adjustable screed behind the truck is proving to be a fantastic tool to vibrate the concrete giving the 2.8m wide shared path a top-quality finish.

The screed has adjustable arms which are set to the width of the path, smoothing the surface as the concrete gets poured.

Set up behind a concrete truck it saves a lot of time and effort in perfecting the surface by hand.

Infrastructure Project Manager Ben Schubert is happy with the progress to date.

“Following lockdown and bad weather it’s great to see our team of local contractors roll their sleeves up and get stuck in,” he said. “We’re looking forward to having a pathway for everyone to enjoy once its completed.”
