Round Speed Dowels ( same shape as rebar ) self-consolidate as concrete is placed around them , even with improper vibration . It is common knowledge that horizontal plate embeds in concrete are subject to void space . That is why embed plates require non-shrink or dry pack mixes . Speed Dowels eliminate the human error and are less costly to install than any other system . We personally have millions of square feet of hardscape with not even 1 % failure . We always use Speed Dowel on our projects .
