Process of densifying soil, gravel, or other materials by removing air pockets and increasing their density: Rollers, Plate Compactors, and Hand Tampers. It is a critical step in preparing the ground before placing Concrete or Roadways.
Increases Load-Bearing Capacity:
- Compacted soil can support heavier loads without shifting or settling, which is essential for the stability of concrete structures and roads.
- Prevents Settlement:
Proper compaction reduces the risk of uneven or excessive settlement over time, which can lead to cracks and structural damage.
- Enhances Stability and Durability:
Well-compacted subgrades and bases provide a solid foundation that resists erosion, shifting, and deformation due to traffic or environmental conditions.
