Choosing the right equipment can be overwhelming due to the wide range of machines, technologies, and price points available today.

The most elemental meaning of the word "compaction," is the exertion of force on something so that it becomes more dense. In the realm of road construction, compaction is considered one of the most ...

Intelligent compaction (IC) technology represents a paradigm shift in pavement engineering by integrating advanced sensor systems, real‐time data processing and automated control to optimise ...

A good paving job will have a smooth, dense appearance that looks flat and tight, without any gaps between the aggregates at the surface. We all know that appearance doesn't just happen, there are a ...

How often have you run over a nasty pothole or gotten a headache from driving on the bumpy pavement? No matter where you live, everyone claims to have the worst roads — and everyone’s rights to a ...

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 ...

Vibratory soil compactors are usually the least conspicuous machines on road-building projects. Either they're long gone before the more glamorous paving train arrives, or they're working so far ahead ...

The key specifications for a combination roller are similar to those used to specify a double-drum compactor: Weight, rolling width, vibration frequency, amplitude, and total centrifugal force must ...

A new quality-control tool for road construction developed by Electrical & Biomedical Engineering Professor Sesh Commuri debuted last week at the ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas, one of the largest ...

Intelligent Compaction (IC) technology is revolutionizing pavement engineering by enhancing the quality control and assurance processes during the construction of roadways and other infrastructure.
