The difference in a good mat and a great mat could be the matter of just a slight screed adjustment .

BRIAN HALL

The Basics of Screed Management

T oo many times , on the job site I hear problems such as “ I can ’ t get my screed to do what you told me me it would do ”. Many times this can be corrected by an easy screed setup or just a few twists and turns . Every screed , no matter who the manufacturer , reacts in much the same way as the other . Whenever you see a change in depth or consistency , it can easily be remedied by looking at what ’ s happening to the asphalt as it passes through the paver . Now , I know what you are thinking . He ’ s not talking to me . And you ’ re right . I ’ m talking to those other guys that don ’ t read these trade magazines or go into paving classes on a consistent basis . But just humor me for a while if you don ’ t mind .
