Application of power trowels and concrete screeds in construction of parking lot pavement.

Power trowels and concrete screeds are essential tools when it comes to the construction of parking lot pavement. Power trowels can effectively finish the concrete surface, creating a smooth and flat surface. The trowel is also useful for sealing and densifying the concrete before the surface is stamped or measured to achieve the desired texture. Concrete screeds can be used to level and compact the concrete when it is laid. When using screeds, be sure to use a spirit level and line level to ensure an accurate level. This will ensure that your parking lot pavement is even and level, and free from dips or other dips.

How to choose a correct power trowels ？

1.Evaluate the size

2.Consider the blade size

3.Consider the handle type

4.Determine the type of finish

How to choose a right concrete screeds？

1.Look for features. The features you should look for in a concrete screed are dependability, ease of use and durability. Quickly determine how easy is it to transport and maneuver.

2.Consider the size of the area being screeded. Screed size and width can vary, so make sure to find out what size and width are best suited to your project.

3.Check the horsepower. Vibratory screeds require little to no horsepower but they require enough pressure to force the concrete away from the surface. Make sure the designated horsepower is able to keep up with your project.

4.Weigh the options. If you need more than just an edge finish off a project, you will have to decide between a vibratory or hydraulic screed. Vibratory screeds are generally used for edge finishing and are ideal for slabs and sidewalks, while hydraulic screeds are better suited for large projects and can handle thicker depths.

5. Select the type of shaft. A screed’s shaft makes a big difference when it comes to performance. Select either a two- or four-shaft screed depending on the size and type of job you need to complete.
