The perspective at hand is from underneath the first of three pieces of equipment involved in the paving operation, a GOMACO PS-2600 Placer/Spreader. Accepting wet concrete from a transporting vehicle, the spreader distributes it across the roadway with a rotating corkscrew-life apparatus. It also begins the process of leveling the concrete to the desired depth. The rod-like objects implanted in the roadway are called dowel bars. Made of steel and coated with an epoxy polymer, dowel bars are used to strengthen the concrete, thereby, extending the useful life of the pavement. Visible on the roadway are concrete chunks that have been cleaned from the machine after the day's work. These will be removed before paving begins again. E. S. Wagner Co., prime contractor (Indiana I-69 Project, Section 4, Segment 8).
