Soil and asphalt compaction for roads, foundations and pads — from plate compactors to smooth-drum and padfoot rollers.

Compaction equipment is matched to material: smooth-drum rollers for granular soils and asphalt, padfoot (sheepsfoot) drums for cohesive clays, and plate or rammer compactors for tight trenches and small areas. The right machine and lift thickness are what actually hit target density.

Roller size is driven by the area and required density — larger drums and higher centrifugal force compact deeper lifts faster. For asphalt, confirm the machine has a working water system to prevent pickup, and for trench work, choose a reversible plate or a trench roller sized to the trench width.
