Rapid Impact Compaction -
The rapid impact compactor was originally developed by B.S.P UK in conjunction with the British Military as a means of quickly repairing damage runways. It works by imparting dynamic energy through a falling 'drop-weight, which is dropped from a controlled height onto a patented foot.
With heights of 9 to 12 tones applied to the foot , the 'drop-weights' falls from relatively short height of only 1.2 meters at a rate of 40 to 60 times a minute.
Effective compaction depths vary with the nature of hte soil compacted, but depth of up to 8m have been reached with a 9t rig.
This results in The Rapid Impact Compactor transferring energy to the ground in a significantly more effective manner as the 'foot' stays in contact with the surface, never actually leaving the ground. It is because of this impacting sequence that we can ensure that the transfer of energy into the ground is carried out in the most efficient way possible.
