ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

Ÿ The signicant decrease in imported aggregate allows for a measureable and substantial decrease in CO 2
emissions, thus resulting in a decreased enviromental footprint.
Ÿ Soil Solutions is the rst in the industry to provide a detailed Cost and Benet Analysis as well as an Environmental
Carbon Reduction Analysis for specic projects.

REASONS FOR USING DYNAMIC COMPACTION

From a Contractor’s From a Consultant’s From a Client’s /
Perspective: Perspective: Developer’s Perspective

Ÿ Higher productivity Ÿ Improved foundation bearing Ÿ Cost savings (greater
Ÿ Compaction over a wider capacity for pavement or productivity and possible
range of moisture contents building reduced layerworks)
Ÿ Deeper compaction Ÿ Higher elastic moduli and Ÿ Time savings
Ÿ Thicker lifts (up to 1m) improved strength balance Ÿ Reduced lifecycle costs
Ÿ Fewer machines required Ÿ Plastic strain removal (reduced Ÿ Greater overloading capacity
permanent and differential
deformation)
Ÿ Creation of an anvil - facilitates
achieving improved compaction
higher up
Ÿ Deeper pavements - less
susceptible to overloading
Ÿ Optimized use of existing
materials
