The patent-pending device simplifies the surfacing phase of concrete construction, allowing a single operator to manage tasks that previously required a three-person crew. By automating the screeding process, the machine eliminates the variability inherent in manual labor, ensuring a more uniform finish. Its design specifically accommodates challenging mix specifications, including difficult mix designs (PEM) and the standard New York State sidewalk mix.
Westford Inventor Automates Concrete Screeding to Cut Labor Needs
“I wanted to create an automated apparatus that could reduce the work of three persons down to one for jobsite efficiency,” said a Westford, New York-based inventor. Their new design, the Non-Vibrating Self-Propelled Sidewalk Screed Machine, aims to replace labor-intensive hand methods with a streamlined, consistent mechanical process.
Targeted at construction contractors and professional installation crews, the machine is currently being represented by InventHelp. The Pittsburgh-based firm has opened the invention for licensing or direct acquisition by manufacturers and marketers interested in improving site productivity. Interested parties can reference department 25-TLP-200 when contacting the company for technical or commercial specifications.
