MONITORING COMPACTION

With the increasing use of 'end-result specification' contracts the contractor requires reliable monitoring equipment. Bomag's 'Compaction Management System' links their Terrameter to a recording unit in the cab. A colour display show the compaction achieved on up to ten tracks and the information can be stored. A Compaction Documentation System (CDS) supplied by Geodynamik is being used on an airport in Norway. Using CDS the driver is able to concentrate his compaction efforts on areas where additional compaction is required. An LCD in the cab shows the compaction results immediately. Reductions in work of 20% have been obtained.
