Dynamic compaction

Dynamic compaction - also called heavy tamping or dynamic consolidation - is a densification technique through surface action, done by the controlled and intensive tamping of the soil with a heavy mass that hits the ground surface.

Construction sequence

Fields of application

• Suitable to improve settlement-sensitive layers (reduce settlements).

• Well-adapted to the densification of non-cohesive deposits

• Compaction of large surfaces to be used for building, densification of embankments and backfills

• Industrial buildings and projects of infrastructure

• Accommodation of distributed loads

Environmental impact

• Vibrations

• Compaction of the surface layer

• Raising of the surface level (elevation).
