The present disclosure provides various aspects for mobile and automated processing utilizing additive manufacturing and the methods for their utilization. In some examples, discrete material formats for use in an Additive Manufacturing Array are disclosed. Methods of using the additive manufacturing robot, discrete materials, and the roadways produced with the additive manufacturing robot are provided. A combined function Addibot, with Additive Manufacturing capabilities, cleaning capabilities, line painting capabilities and seal coating capabilities which may be used in concert with a camera equipped aerial drone for design and characterization function is described.

A paver-perimeter taping tool has a frame with a mounting surface and a peripheral edge. A tape-roll support post mounts to the frame and supports a roll of tape. A tape roller mounted to the frame has a rotatable applicator surface that extends beyond the frame's peripheral edge. Tape may extend from the roll of tape to the applicator surface. A wheel mounts to the frame. A handle attaches to the frame and extends to an operator handle end that an operator may grasp to push the tool adjacent a perimeter of pavers. The tool may apply a layer of tape to the paver perimeter, which is adjacent the top surface of the pavers. When particulate is applied to the top surface of the pavers the grout is held in the gaps between adjacent pavers at the perimeter thereof.

A method and apparatus for deploying a tubular body onto a surface. The apparatus includes a main body movable in an advancing direction. The apparatus includes a deployment mechanism that deploys a tubular body directly onto a surface. The apparatus includes at least one container that stores an uncured protectant. The container is mounted on the main body. The apparatus may include a second container that stores a second protectant. The second protectant is different than the uncured protectant. The apparatus includes at least one curing device, which can cure the uncured protectant after the uncured protectant is applied to surface.

A marking device that includes a base; at least two telescoping legs movably coupled to the base; and an indicator, the indication being attached to a top portion of an uppermost leg of the at least two telescoping legs, the marking device including: (1) a retracted position wherein the at least two telescoping legs are seated within the base and (2) an extended position wherein the at least two telescoping legs are telescoped outwards from the base and locked in the extended position.

A machine for removing and filling roadway joints a laterally expandable main frame mounted to a vehicle, a horizontal track beam suspended from the main frame, a joint seal removing assembly suspended from a track beam, and a joint filling assembly attached to an end of the track beam. The joint seal removal assembly includes a pair of guide wheels for maintaining alignment with the roadway joint. The joint seal removal assembly includes a rotary broom, a joint seal router, a rotary abrader, a sandblaster, high-pressure air blaster, a high pressure water blaster and a heat lance. The joint filling assembly includes a guide wheel and a sealant applicator for dispensing sealant into the roadway joint.
