More Information On Trench Grader's Compaction Equipment

Compaction equipment covers a diverse field in the construction industry. Whether your need for compaction equipment requires heavy compaction or dense compaction. Trench Grader Inc. has several models and sizes to meet your needs.

For heavy compaction equipment, Trench Grader has vibratory hydraulic compaction wheels for maximum compaction with wheel widths up to 18”. For dense compaction equipment, smaller units are available in several models.

Compaction is defined as the method of mechanically increasing the density of soil. Compaction of soil is a major part of the building process. If compaction is not performed correctly, it can result in unnecessary costs and or structural failure as well as injury to people or livestock. Compaction equipment plays a major role in getting the job done satisfactory.

Compaction specs and job site conditions also play a major role when searching for compaction equipment and determining which compactor is more suitable for the job. Trench Grader has a complete line of hydraulic vibratory trench compactors for a wide array of job applications.

A lot of government construction jobs require compaction equipment to compact their trenches. All airports as well as army bases require trenches to be compacted to certain percentages so compaction equipment is necessary for the job.

Another common use for compaction equipment is golf course construction. On a typical 18 hole golf course there is about 40 miles of trench that has to be compacted using compaction equipment.

Another common use for compaction equipment is the windmill industry. This industry is growing at a very rapid pace and compaction equipment is one of the machines used in the installation of these units. The collection lines, which are the underground wires that connect each windmill, must all be compacted using compaction equipment. If the underground wires are not compacted with compaction equipment, it messes up the thermal distribution of the wires and the windmills will not operate properly.

As you can see, compaction equipment is a very important part of the trenching process from golf courses to windmill industries to water lines. Call us today and ask about our compaction equipment and to see what products we have to meet all your compaction equipment needs.
