To illustrate the intelligent-compaction (IC) roller’s potential to increase production, Kevin Garcia—road and paving construction segment manager for Trimble Navigation—relates an experiment Trimble ...

Regardless of how much experience an equipment operator has, it is difficult to achieve uniform compaction over a sizable area without the help of technology. Without technology, equipment operators ...

Static force is simply the deadweight of the machine, applying downward force on the soil surface, compressing the soil particles. The only way to change the effective compaction force is by adding or ...

Pavement performance depends on many factors. Mix designs, ambient and mix temperatures, rolling methods, joints, and types of equipment used can all be analyzed and tweaked to deliver a better ...

For a successful outcome, each phase of the work – soil stabilisation, compaction, grading, material delivery, paving – must proceed with maximum efficiency and always within challenging time ...
