Tamping Rammers (Jumping Compactors):
i) Tamping Rammer 72kg, 17kN
Compaction is used to increase the density of materials by two methods:
1. Static force.
2. Vibratory (dynamic force).
Compaction costs approx. 4% of the total construction cost. It is very important for the quality of the finished structures. It is often ignored which results in cracks & high maintenance costs.
Compaction depends on the type of soil, moisture (water content), the compaction method & the performance of the compaction / vibration equipment.
