PRODUCTIVITY COMPARISON

IMPACT COMPACTION VS CONVENTIONAL COMPACTION EQUIPMENT

In addition to the cost savings provided above, impact compaction achieves further cost savings resulting from:

• Density specifications are more easily obtained.
• The impact compactor can compact lift thicknesses of up to 1 metre and more resulting in significantly less use of other construction equipment and operators.
• The impact compactor can compact soil at a lower moisture content than vibratory rollers, reducing the amount of water needed.
• In the above example it would require 6 vibratory rollers to match the work output of one impact compactor.
• The use of impact compactors can therefore significantly reduce contract time.
