ABSTRACT:
A strip paving machine for forming step-like breakers on the inclined surfaces of a diversion island for a power plant cooling pond includes a mobile receiving hopper that is propelled by a bulldozer over the floor of the cooling pond. A forwardly advancing dump truck remains in material receiving relationship with the front end portion of the receiving hopper and deposits castable material onto a conveyor that is transversely positioned in the receiving hopper. The material is transported laterally out of the receiving hopper onto a bridge conveyor that is pivotally connected at one end to the receiving hopper. The upper end portion of the bridge conveyor is slidably supported on the inclined surface of the diversion island and is pivotally connected to a mobile feed hopper. The feed hopper is forwardly propelled on the diversion island by a prime mover at the rate of speed of the receiving hopper. The castable material is deposited into the feed hopper and spread upon the surface of the diversion island by an extruding device in a strip having the configuration of three inclined steps that form the breakers on the diversion island. Vibrating beams supported rearwardly of the feed hopper compact the step-like breakers after they are cast by the extruding device. By continuously feeding the castable material from the receiving hopper to the feed hopper as the feed hopper traverses the inclined surfaces of the diversion island, the surfaces are paved in strips that serve to break up the wave action within the cooling pond.
