Description
Summary:In the construction field, paver blocks are preferably used in many industries and houses as well. In houses, most often they use paver blocks in their lawns. Also, these paver blocks are used in the pathways along the roadside. While laying these paver blocks manually, they have to place it by hands and it requires workload and physical stress for labors and consuming more time. Also, it requires more laborers for this process. This proposed project can lay the paver blocks semi-automatically by laying through the machine. The machine traces the path and moves slowly over the path. Paver blocks are placed over the top position of the tapered frame. The blocks move slowly to the bottom position due to its gravity as the frame is tapered. Then blocks will lay upon the required path as the machine slowly moves in a backward direction. In this way, blocks are placed. As these blocks are used in pavement paths that are constrained, the machine will lay and save time. Also, the machine is smaller in size; it can be carried along with paver blocks that are carried in lorries.
