Foundations support: Increased bearing capacity and reduced settlement.
Floor slab support: Stiffens soils and creates uniform bearing conditions.
Liquefaction mitigation: Increased shear wave modulus to help raise seismic site class.
Waste stabilization: Reduced the volume of backfill pores and improved properties of the backfills.
RESULTS FROM THE RAPID COMPACTION:
Most granular fills and some silts are compactable. The best results being achieved where the fill is formed by unbound soil material. An area of 400 m2 - 1600 m2 can be covered in an average day, depending on the 'blow-per-positions' setting and the distance between the points.
This also allows time for routine maintenance and rotation of the special pads located in the foot assembly which transfers the force of the blow through to the ground.
