Abstract:

Traditional placements often require curb and gutter work to be placed, finished, and cured to outline the pavement area before completion of the flatwork. Monolithic placements, or all-in-one placements, improve efficiency by completing the curb and gutter at the same time as the flatwork. Curbing machines with multiple drum options are the proper tools for such placements.
