All About Soil Compaction Services
Soil and dirt compaction services are an integral part of the site preparation process. Effective soil compaction requires careful planning and analysis, plus the proper installation of backfill materials to establish a reliable weight-bearing compacity.
Why Do We Compact Soil in Construction?
Compacting the soil mitigates the risks posed by shifting subsurface soil densities and long-term settling. Even minuscule variances in soil compaction can lead to cracking foundations and degrading the structural integrity of any project, including building foundations, pavements, stabilized embankments and more.
Properly compacted earth material also prevents water infiltration and promotes proper drainage. This process is key to every construction project.
Choosing the Right Soil Compaction Methods and Equipment
While roller compactors are a common method for preparing construction sites, there are many other options available. Specialized soil compaction equipment uses percussion, pressure, kneading or vibration to compact soils. Sites with high moisture content typically require a combination of specialized methods in addition to standard compaction practices.
We lean on our years of experience to evaluate sites and work with geotechnical engineers to review soil composition, moisture levels, and project specifications. The result? We know the best compaction methods to achieve optimum results for any project. Castle provides a range of earthwork services and supports additional project requirements as needed.
