"Many years of practical experience in the construction industry together with continuing research and development provide the basis for the advanced technology and high stability of XXX's screeds. The end result is an impressively high paving performance, including the achievement of excellent compaction values."

asfaltläggare/läggare
I don't think I've had to give three answers to catch the glitch before..
But reading your text closely, I now see the obvious; your sought word, and indeed the entire text is about paving construction. My previous answers were close but not correct in this context.
"Screeds" means the machine that is actually "rolling out the surface" - asphalt mostly - in Swedish that is 'asfaltläggare' or just 'läggare', there are even hjulläggare and bandläggare - see these Swedish references:
http://www.tremaco.se/
http://www.vv.se/produktion/miljo/atervinning_pa_vag.asp
and also check this US one for comparison:

Comment: "Thanks! Yes, the text is talking about a machine and about paving construction. However, none of the dictionaries I consulted mentioned this as a possible translation, hence my turning to you, ProZ! I will use the word "asfaltläggare" in my translation. Thanks again!

cementputs
"screed" is a mixture of cement, sand and water applied to a concrete slab to give a smooth surface finish.
I regret that I don't know what it is called in Swedish but would guess at "cementputs".

läggningsmetod, utläggningsmetod
Screed refers to the process of constructing. It could be in relation to asphalt or concrete, for instance.
Often is a laser screed system used, this is called laser screed, another method is called vacuum. With the laser screed method, vibrating arms attached to a laser levels the surface and removes pockets of air while keeping track of relevant measures. I think that this is the method that is referred to in your text.

Well
'screeds' would translate to "jobs done" here - läggningsarbeten/utläggningar or similar.
Should also tell you that 'compaction value' - "kompaktvärde" is not used when it comes to concrete. In Sweden the density - densitet is used.

golvbetong, avjämningsbetong
En sak är klar: ordet "screed" används aldrig ihop med asfalt. Det betecknar ett betongbruk med varierande sammansättning som läggs ut med några cm tjocklek ovanpå det bärande betongunderlaget och som sedan utgör antingen den färdiga golvytan eller underlag för andra golvbeläggningar (mattor o.d.).
