A chord member for facilitating the assembly and disassembly of a concrete conveyor system including a top flange defining a first plane, a pair of depending lips positioned at either end of the top flange, a bottom flange defining a second plane parallel to the first plane and a middle flange defining a third plane perpendicular to the first plane. A clevis is coupled to the top flange or the bottom flange so that a truss of the conveyor system can be attached to the clevis.

Conveyor modular construction techniques

Apparatus for raising a conveyor above the surface of a poured concrete structure as the structure is formed includes a post moveable in a vertical direction that supports a conveyor on top of the post. A horizontal support tube is connected to the post, as well as a collar. A jack engages the support and raises the post and collar. A hydraulic means then places a base around the post below the collar so that when the jack is lowered, the conveyor, post and collar are supported by the newly placed base, thereby raising the conveyor relative to the surface of the structure.
