Compaction equipment is machinery used to compress soil, gravel, or asphalt to increase its density and stability. This process is essential in construction and civil engineering to create a solid foundation for roads, buildings, and other structures. Common types of compaction equipment include vibratory rollers, plate compactors, and rammers. These machines work by applying force to the ground, either through vibration or weight, to eliminate air pockets and ensure a firm surface. Proper compaction helps prevent future settling and structural issues, making it a crucial step in any construction project.
