ABSTRACT:
A method of making a cast concrete panel with coarse aggregate exposed on its upper face as cast comprising the steps of pouring and compacting wet concrete having a coarse aggregate content into a casting bed, leveling the upper surface of the concrete to the desired height by means that includes the passage thereover of a screed roller rotating in a direction to push excess surface concrete in advance of the screed roller, lifting coarse aggregate towards the upper surface of the concrete in advance of the screed roller by passing the free ends of rotating aggregate lifter arms through the concrete, the aggregate lifter-arms being spaced apart a distance to support coarse aggregate therebetween, whereby to lift and concentrate coarse aggregate in the wet concrete towards the surface, and to deposit a high concentration of coarse aggregate in front of said screed roller, said aggregate lifter arms being mounted radially of a rotating shaft that rotates in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the screed roller, compacting the concentrated coarse aggregate to leave cement and fine aggregate as an overlay to the compacted coarse aggregate by the passage over the surface layer of a compacting roller that is rotated in the opposite direction to the screed roller with respect to the direction of travel of roller rotation along the casting bed to compact coarse aggregate and deposit cement and fine aggregate as an overlay as aforesaid, permitting the body of the concrete to cure, and exposing the coarse aggregate on the upper face by removing cement and fine aggregate from between the coarse aggregate to expose the coarse aggregate on the flat upper surface of the panel as cast.
