Abstract
A paving system having a strike-off assembly and method of manufacture is provided that distributes paving material onto a road surface. The strike-off assembly comprises a screed assembly comprised in a guide frame. The screed assembly comprises a flexible screed having a first and second surface secured in a screed track. The screed assembly may be disposed behind a mobile paving system to regulate the amount of paving material distributed onto the road surface and to ensure a generally even distribution of paving material across the road surface. After the surface of the flexible screed has become worn or damaged from use, the screed assembly may be removed and reversed such that the second surface is employed to regulate and distribute paving material onto the road surface.
