Changing Face of Compaction & Compaction Control for Road Building
Changing Face of Compaction & Compaction Control for Road Building – A Global Review
Compaction is one of the most important processes in roadway construction. A uniform base and subgrade is a key ingredient in maximising pavement performance and the stiffness is a major contributor to this uniformity, whether it is in pavements, road embankments or bridge abutments.
This article challenges Australian road authorities and peak bodies to embrace an integrated approach combining Intelligent Compaction with the measurement of modulus for evaluating compaction using the Light Weight Deflectometer.

I must confess that this equipment is fantastic compared to the old technology.
That was really useful and informative yesterday – started a lot of discussion around here.
I felt the training was very thorough. If anyone doesn’t know how to use a PANDA after that session, they shouldn’t be using one at all.
