Summary: Compacting soil, asphalt, concrete

    Compactors are heavy construction machines used to reduce the volume of material by applying pressure, thereby increasing its density and stability. This process, known as compaction, is crucial in various construction and waste management applications. In construction, compactors are used to prepare the ground for foundations, roads, and other structures by compressing soil, asphalt, or other materials. This increases the load-bearing capacity of the soil and prevents settling or shifting. In waste management, compactors reduce the volume of waste in landfills, maximizing the use of space and increasing efficiency. Compaction is achieved through different methods, including static pressure, impact, vibration, or a combination of these. The type of compactor used depends on the material being compacted and the desired level of compaction.
