Compression Test

In order to demonstrate a compliant compacting in the course of earthworks, the execution of compression tests is of great importance.

In addition to the correct compression technology, the condensation water content is also important when compressing.

While compacting compressors (vibratory plates) are primarily used for compacting non-binding floors, cohesive soils can only be properly compacted by means of kneading / stamping technology (for example with the sheepsfoot roller). But also the best technique and good will do not help if the sands are too dry or the clay is too damp.

For this reason, it is important to have compression tests carried out by a specialist. We use the following procedures:

What procedures we use to check the compression:

• Plate pressure test with static load plate in accordance with DIN 18134
• Dynamic plate tests with drop light + Ramondondierungen
