Soil is one of the most basic construction materials in existence, and it forms the foundation of all manner of construction projects. Soil is often removed, filled, shaped or replaced to accommodate structures and pavements, and compacting soil can make a big difference in the structural integrity of the project. Soil compaction takes place when […]

Soil compaction and soil consolidation may sound like very similar processes given the fact that they both cause a volume reduction in soil. However, they are achieved in entirely different manners. Here is a look at the specifics of these two soil-related processes. Defining Soil Compaction And Soil Consolidation Soil compaction is a process wherein […]

Compacting soil is the ideal way to increase soil density, which is very important for creating a secure base layer for whatever is constructed or placed upon it. Soil compaction increases both the stability and load-bearing capacity of the ground while also reducing water seepage and preventing soil settlement and damage from frost. If you […]

Soil compaction is a process that has been used to improve construction projects for many years. Although the preferred equipment for compaction has changed with advancements in equipment design, the process remains essential for protecting the integrity of soil that will serve as the base for structural projects. The purpose of soil compaction is to […]

Soil compaction is often discussed in the context of construction. It is important because it provides stability and support to any structures that are built on top of the soil by increasing its resilience, improving its strength and reducing its compressive ability. However, soil compaction can be problematic in a garden bed. Here is a […]
