While many factors influence your choice of compaction equipment, these guidelines can help you match equipment to job variables and soil types.

View general guidelines for roller selection, uniformity, lift thickness, compactive effort, working speed, soil placement and compaction. 

Solve common problems that occur on the jobsite more quickly with this list of possible causes and solutions.

Use this guide to help determine the causes of common defects in the bituminous layer, including surface texture, segragation, roughness and blemishes.

Factors such as speed and the material feed system can impact how the screed floats. Learn what happens when speed increases or decreases and how to create and maintain a continuous flow of material through the screed.

Achieve consistently high density with these tips to create uniform patterns, compaction forces, working speeds and temperature zones.

Learn the process for achieving two common objectives: high-density longitudinal joints and joint compaction for appearance.

Successful crews understand the relationship between these key forces of compaction—and how a mat accepts them.
