Only nominal staking is required for installation on the subgrade. These units can be tailored to meet any standard or specification with regard to dowel size, dowel spacing or slab depth. Dowel size should be in correct proportion to the load for which the pavement is designed. The following table lists the Portland Cement Association suggested dowel sizes and spacings. Prices for more specialized accessories will be provided upon request.
Complete facilities are available for coating dowel assemblies.
When specified, the full length of dowels in completed assemblies can be coated with iron oxide paint, asphalt, tectyl or fusion-bonded epoxy. Coated assemblies ensure a smooth and even finish on the dowels and provides protection against corrosion during use and job site storage. Welded dowel assemblies are completely shop assembled, and, if specified, shop coated. Installation is completed at the desired location with minimal staking. Simplified joint placing saves money.
