Soil Compaction

Soil compaction is important in construction projects where soil will bear heavy loads. Compaction is rearranging soil particles to remove air, increase density and reduce water seepage. There are different types of soil compaction tools each with a specific range of material compaction. Compactors are used to compact the ground and the type of compactor used depends on the project requirements.

Compaction equipment is used to reduce water seepage through the soil and increase soil density. Compactors are available for rent so they’re available for any construction project. Compaction tools are used to compact soil, gravel and asphalt. Each compaction machine has its own features and benefits so it’s important to choose the right tool for the job.

Soil Compaction 101: Working with Cohesive Soils

Soil compaction tools are important in construction and landscaping projects as it gives you a level surface. Effective soil compaction 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 load bearing capacity and prevents settling or shifting. It’s crucial to compact the soil layer to ensure stability and support heavy loads. Rollers are generally faster and heavier than other compaction tools so they’re highly effective. There’s a big variation in roller designs to cater to different soil types, like Elephantsfoot and sheep foot rollers. 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 vibratory force to compress the soil. The MVP95 Compactor uses both static and vibratory forces 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.
