Regardless of how much experience an equipment operator has, it is difficult to achieve uniform compaction over a sizable area without the help of technology. Without technology, equipment operators ...

Sundt Construction’s first use of intelligent compaction technology, on a nine-mile highway expansion in central Arizona discovered some sub-par subgrade compaction that would have been overlooked ...

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 ...

Highway construction often faces challenges in ensuring long-term subgrade performance due to traditional compaction quality control (QC) methods that rely on manual ...

Skanska is piloting a Wirtgen Group electric compaction roller, one of just five pre-production models in North America. The global construction giant is piloting the electric compaction roller on the ...

Researchers have developed new “intelligent compaction” technology, which integrates into a road roller and can assess in real-time the quality of road base compaction. Improved road construction can ...

Potholes are one of the most common and frustrating problems on roads. Even after repairs, many potholes seem to reappear at the same locations, sometimes within a single rainy season. To the ...

A dual split-drum option on the front drum of Cat 7-, 8- and 10-ton compactors allow the machines quicker turning speeds as well as a tighter turning radius without tearing the asphalt mat, according ...

Soil compaction is a fundamental process in geotechnical engineering, aimed at enhancing soil density and stability by optimising moisture content and applied compactive effort. The key parameters—the ...

Our research focuses on sustainable geotechnical aspects of highway and energy infrastructure. The continuous depletion of our natural resources for energy and deterioration of our infrastructure ...
