Development of Auto-Conveying System for Dam Concrete

In the conventional method of dam construction work, dam concrete is transported from batching plant and then placing work is usually done using bucket moved by cable or jib cranes. This paper reports about the newly developed automatic conveying and transportation system of dam concrete directly from batcher plant to the concrete placing point in a continuous way. The main purpose for this development is to save labor, stabilize the concrete quality and improve the surrounding environment.
