To illustrate the intelligent-compaction (IC) roller’s potential to increase production, Kevin Garcia—road and paving construction segment manager for Trimble Navigation—relates an experiment Trimble ...

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 ...

Regardless of how much experience an equipment operator has, it is difficult to achieve uniform compaction over a sizable area without the help of technology. Without technology, equipment operators ...

Skanska is piloting a Wirtgen Group electric compaction roller, one of just five pre-production models in North America. The global construction giant is piloting the electric compaction roller on the ...

Pairing Trimble Roadworks with GSSI delivers pass-by-pass compaction data that helps crews monitor asphalt density as work happens and standardize results across a paving train. Trimble Roadworks is a ...

When you look at the walk-behind compactors in your fleet, chances are you don't think of them as precise scientific instruments. Yet, soil compaction is a science and it requires a certain degree of ...
