How often have you run over a nasty pothole or gotten a headache from driving on the bumpy pavement? No matter where you live, everyone claims to have the worst roads — and everyone’s rights to a ...

Intelligent compaction (IC) technology represents a paradigm shift in pavement engineering by integrating advanced sensor systems, real‐time data processing and automated control to optimise ...

Are you grading sites or paving roads the “traditional” way — relying on operator intuition and human measurement to ensure you’re meeting specs? If so, you’re not just risking over- or ...

Compacting asphalt pavement sufficiently is crucial to extending the life of roadways. Intelligent compaction technologies offer methods of evaluating the state of pavement compaction in real time, ...

Researchers have developed new “intelligent compaction” technology, which integrates into a road roller and can assess in real-time the quality of road base compaction. Improved road construction can ...

Pavement performance depends on many factors. Mix designs, ambient and mix temperatures, rolling methods, joints, and types of equipment used can all be analyzed and tweaked to deliver a better ...

There are certain types of equipment in your fleet that don't change much over time, but compaction is not one of them. Rammers, plates, trench compactors and rollers are constantly evolving to meet ...

When thinking of a small construction company, one typically conjures up the image of an upstart, one- or two-person operation struggling to achieve a steady queue of jobs and working hard to build a ...

Roller manufacturer Hamm introduces the Smart Compact Pro under the motto “Measure it right. Measure it now.” For the first time, real-time density is being used as a decisive parameter for ...

Researchers have developed a new machine-learning technique that applies the Goldilocks principle to road compaction quality. Researchers have developed new "intelligent compaction" technology, which ...
