Abstract
Due to the proliferation of the full-layer placing method in dam construction, the choice of concrete transfer facilities is widening. In consideration of the situation, we have developed a new carriage machine. The concept of the new machine is to carry concrete from the foot of the dam, up the growing face, to the top. Compared to conventional facilities, this has the advantages of being more environmentally friendly, reducing cost and shortening period of temporary works, being more efficient, and being simpler to operate.
