Project Stages
Prepare for Compaction
Preparation for compaction ensures that the compactor receives suitable material in the intended layer arrangement. Grading and moisture conditioning must fit the project requirements.
Plan the surface handover
BeforeConfirm material, layer depth and compaction method.
Work stageDistribute the layer consistently and complete required conditioning without hiding soft underlying areas.
AfterCompact and test according to the brief.
What to verify
Inspect edges and areas inaccessible to the main compaction plant.
Each project stage has a receiving operation and an acceptance question. Record what is complete, what remains and which reference the next team should use. Correct quantities before refining geometry, and do not cover an unaccepted layer simply to keep the sequence moving.
Scope and limits
There is no single pass count or moisture target suitable for all materials.
