Intelligent Compaction Implementation Support in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands
Since the earliest trials of Intelligent Compaction (IC) in Australia nearly 10 years ago, we have recognised that a well-developed local knowledge base will be critical for the successful implementation of IC.
IC is a major aid to attain high compaction quality and uniformity.
IC is roller mounted real-time compaction monitoring. IC refers to vibratory rollers equipped with an integrated measurement system, an onboard computer reporting system, Global Positioning System (GPS) based mapping, and optional feedback control.
Globally, the most recent national implementations of IC (or Continuous Compaction Control (CCC) as it is also known) have been in the USA, Europe and increasingly in China.
Now there is strong interest and increasing IC activity in Australia and New Zealand. To best support our clients with IC implementation, Insitu Test has partnered with world leaders in Intelligent Compaction, The Transtec Group (USA).
Further, through our global network, we benefit from strong technical relationships with roller OEMs, IC retrofit kit OEMs and OEMs in country distribution partners / vendors.
Our IC implementation support includes:
- Development of IC implementation plans
- High-level IC awareness workshops for executives and senior managers
- Onsite mid-level IC training for project managers and supervisors
- Onsite low-level IC training for field construction crew
- Pilot field projects with onsite IC support
- Full field projects with onsite and/or remote IC support
- Establishment of in-house database for IC
- IC technical specification development/refinement/review for asphalt and soils

Dr. George Chang is a world leader in IC technologies and is the team leader of The Transtec Group’s Intelligent Construction Technical Support Center in the USA. Since 2007, Dr. Chang has led the national IC implementation efforts in the US and founded the International Intelligent Construction Technologies Group for worldwide promotion of innovative construction technologies.
The Transtec Group is also the developer of the one-stop-shop Intelligent Compaction website and Veta, the IC industry standard map-based tool for viewing and analyzing geospatial data.
Veta can import data from various IC systems to perform editing, data layering, point testing, and analysis. Veta displays compaction information in easy-to-read formats, including graphs and maps.
We look forward to supporting you on your journey towards Intelligent Compaction implementation. Let us know how we can help.
After scouring the market, we settled on the PANDA DCP test equipment as it offered the technical capability and, moreover, the flexibility required to work in the restricted environment our project presented; overhead clearance typically at 1500mm but as low as 1200mm. We had a unique problem that required a unique solution and that’s precisely what we found through the team at Insitutek and the PANDA equipment. The ease of assembly, intuitive operability and compact nature of the equipment, made light of the numerous soundings we required across a widely dispersed area.
The PANDA probe is giving us and the construction team very useful insight with immediate feedback on the compaction being achieved on a major new rail construction project in QLD. We have two teams working daily using PANDA DCP’s and the Automatic Hammer on the rail formation, enabling real time decision making with confidence, based on the highly repeatable results.
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 find clients are often looking for ways to improve geotechnical testing outcomes and do it more efficiently at the same time. This drives their buying decision making. Australian Soil and Concrete Testing (ASCT) was a case in point when they were searching for Plate Load Test equipment for their upcoming Collector Wind Farm project. Some of the things that motivated them include: […]
We are excited to introduce the addition of a new Liquefaction Risk Estimation module in WebSprint©. Paired with our cutting-edge products, PANDA® and GRIZZLY®, this module enables you to assess the liquefaction risk of soils exposed to seismic stress. PANDA® Instrumented DCP: This cutting-edge tool provides dynamic penetrometer soundings, delivering precise data crucial for seismic risk evaluations. GRIZZLY® […]
The Australian Geomechanics Society is gearing up for a series of geotechnical events across VIC, WA, NSW, and SA-NT. We are thrilled to inform you that we will be sponsoring and attending these exciting geotechnical events, and we would love for you to join us. It’s a fantastic opportunity to catch up, explore our booth (VIC), and stay informed about […]
