The screed is the component of the paver that lays the asphalt, compacts and smooths the surface. The majority of the streets in the City are 36' wide. Specifications required a 9' screed with variable widths from 3' to 12' in 3' increments to cover the width of our streets. Specifications required a paving depth of 0'-8", 3" crown adjustment and 3" valley adjustment based on City application requirements. The Mauldin 690E Paver provides an 8' screed, paving depth of 0"-6", 2" crown adjustment and 2" valley adjustment. 11.-1 Page 2, Item~ Meeting Date 4/23/91 Specifications required the screed height adjustments to be electrically controlled from either right or left side of the machine for safety and efficiency. The Mauldin 690E screed heights are manual and the operator has to make adjustments on each side.
