Soil Compaction 101: Working with Cohesive Soils
Soil compaction tools are essential in construction and landscaping projects as they give you a level surface. Effective soil compaction also reduces water seepage and increases load bearing capacity and prevents soil settlement. Compacting soil is removing voids and increasing the density of the soil layer which increases the load bearing capacity and prevents settling or shifting. Plate compactors are one of the best soil compaction tools to get a level surface. There are two types of soil compaction: static compaction which uses static pressure to compress the soil and vibratory compaction which uses force to compress the soil. The MVP95 Compactor uses both static and vibratory to get the best compaction results. By removing air voids and increasing soil density this compactor will give you a solid base for any project.
Uses for the Dirt Tamper
The Dirt Tamper with smooth wheel rollers is for many applications:
-
Construction: For soil for building foundations, roads and other construction jobs.
-
Landscaping and Gardening: For soil for patios, walkways and other landscaping projects.
-

By following these safety measures you'll have a safe and efficient compaction. When using compaction equipment rentals follow the safety guidelines provided by the rental company.
Compaction Equipment Maintenance and Storage
Maintenance is important to extend the life of all compaction equipment including the MVP95 Compactor and to get the best performance. Check the oil and fuel levels and do routine maintenance like cleaning the air filter and check tire pressure. Store the compactor in a dry and secure location away from direct sunlight and moisture. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance and storage to keep the compactor in good condition. Take care and maintenance will make your compactor last for years.
How to use the Vibratory Plate Compactor
The MVP95 Compactor is one of the easiest to use even for beginners. To use the tamper, place the compactor on the soil surface, engage the vibratory mode and slowly move the compactor forward. Apply gentle to moderate pressure depending on the soil type and compaction required. For best results use the compactor in a pattern and overlap each pass to cover the whole area. This will give you full compaction and a level surface for your project.
