Buyan screed?

Buyan screed?

Buyan screed?

(OP)

The contract I'm working on as an RE has a bridge with a cast insitu arch proflie as its centre piece.

The main contractor has shied away from it and is now going to sub contract it out to a specialized contractor, who intend to pour the arch using a buyan sreed.

I've never heard of this form of screed before and was wondering what is it and how those it work.

RE: Buyan screed?

It's a device that uses friction to cut concrete to grade rather than vibration.  It's used on slopes where you don't want to vibrate your concrete to the bottom of the slope.
