Good News from Power Pavers Customers
Texture and Curing Machines
"The texture cure machine is doing a great job. There's no drift in the product. It's nice and straight and will be a good ride. The city is delighted with the work and so am I."
Nick Kempf, Metro Pavers, Iowa City, IA
Form Paver
"It's an excellent machine. There's no telling how many yards of concrete we've put through that machine. It's been in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. We've had it in every configuration there is, paving from 15 to 32 feet wide. As far as the people servicing it, there's none better than Power Pavers. We've solved every problem over the phone. I've been around these things half my life and they have, too. It puts out an excellent product, as long as you don't try to make a bulldozer out of it. If you try to push too much material through it and it's too dry, you'll have a problem. Two and a half to 3-inch slump works great. As long as you run your vibrators and watch your travel speed, it will slick it down as pretty as a picture."
Drew Bauer, Shamrock International, Louisville, KY
Form Paver
"Basically we do 12 and half-foot city streets, and the form paver is doing great. It pulls up the curb on the edge. Man, it works good. We have the automatic steering sensor and feel lucky to have it. We've also done taxis to the runway out at the airport and occasionally 17-foot paving".
"Paving was a good move for us."
Chris Cormier, Bessette Development, Lake Charles, LA
Slipform Pavers
"The slipform pavers are more efficient and speed up production. They work real well for city streets. These slipform pavers are very easy to move. Occasionally, we pave a couple of different jobs in one day and have to move from one site to another. Moving is not a problem. The SF-3000 lifts itself and you back right under the machine. These machines are user friendly."
Kelly Cunningham, Cunningham Construction, Cedar Falls, IA
SF-3000
"The overall product is great. It's pretty tolerant of slump changes. With drier or wetter mud, the product comes out pretty consistent. "Some sections are zero profilagraph. It doesn't get any better than that. "We pave up to 33 feet wide. Overall, it's a great machine."
Randy Satter, Paving Superintendent, New Design Construction, Denver, CO
SF-3000
"It's easy to move. You don't have to break it down into several pieces to move. That saves time on set-up."
Rick, New Design Construction, Denver, CO
SF-3000
"The slipform pavers cut out labor and are pretty simple to operate. We don't have to have trucks and trailers to haul forms around, or a crane to load. There's at least a 30 percent labor reduction. It's not uncommon for us to pave in the morning, get done, load and go to another job in the afternoon. Transport is a big thing for us."
"I like the hydraulic sensors. They've been trouble-free."
Dave Streb, President, Streb Construction, Iowa City, IA
SF-2700
"I like the machine primarily because it's not too big. I don't need a big 4-track machine for development work. I have to be able to move it in and out quickly and not take a lot of time with set-up. Before I bought the slipform machine, I used to set forms. I had four form riders. Business is so competitive. You can't do the volume you have to do with form pavers. It took two Cats and a semi to load a form paver. A whole day, by the time you tore it apart, moved dit and put it back together. With the slipform machine, I don't have to do any disassembly or reassembly. Just load it up and move. You can drive it off, then drive it on grade and go. It takes 15 minutes to load. I don't have time to load up a machine for 45 minutes. The smoothness is there. It puts out a good product. "The equipment is easy to train guys to operate and easy to maintain. I like the hydraulic sensors. They're easy to understand."
Nick Kempf, Metro Pavers, Iowa City, IA
Placer Spreader
"The placer spreader works very well and is easy to load. You back up and it will lift itself up and you drive u under it. We're pleased with the results and the service. The ease of working on the equipment is one of the original reason I bought the equipment."
Kelly Cunningham, Cunningham Construction, Cedar Falls, IA
