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.

FH is now routinely using the LWD with very good feedback and useful engineering data. The equipment is an easy to use Zorn LWD.
I have known the team at Insitutek for over ten years. Their professionalism, positivity and enthusiasm for their work is outstanding and I am pleased to recommend them.
We purchased a PANDA 2 machine after using one from another laboratory. The information obtained has saved money on numerous jobs. It is reasonably priced and the after-market service has been great. Highly recommend using Insitutek.

On 2 August 2024, geomechanics professionals gathered in Canberra for the Australian Geomechanics Society ACT Insitu Testing Practical Workshop. The event focused on practical demonstrations of key insitu testing methods, including Cone Penetration Testing (CPT), Static Plate Load Test (PLT), Dynamic Probing Super Heavy (DPSH), Light Weight […]
