Work zone
Define the treatment area, material, access constraints, exclusion space and the next construction activity.
RIC selection guide
Use this guide to make the project discussion more precise.
Rapid Impact Compaction is assessed as a controlled hydraulic ground-treatment route where carrier arrangement, work zone, operating sequence and verification can be planned.
The goal of an early guide is to prepare a useful RFQ, not to promise a generic result. CMG reviews project inputs before discussing a hydraulic equipment configuration.

Guide contents
Questions a technical buyer should resolve before selection.
Carrier configuration
Review the hydraulic equipment, carrier or power arrangement and operating space together.
Work sequence
Set out the intended work pattern and project controls before operation.
Acceptance path
Use the project specification to determine what inspection, testing or reporting is required before handover.
Evidence boundary
A useful guide is clear about what it does not prove.
CMG uses this resource to organise a project conversation. It does not replace site investigation, geotechnical design, equipment documentation or the project acceptance specification.
- Do not select hydraulic equipment by energy value alone.
- Do not publish a generic treatment-depth or productivity promise.
- Review changed access, material or machine behaviour with the project team.
Buyer checklist
Prepare these inputs before sending an RFQ.
- Material condition and work area
- Carrier or equipment already available
- Access, reach, exclusion and safety constraints
- Programme and following construction activity
- Specified acceptance method
Decision record
Turn the research question into a reviewable equipment brief.
Use the following record as a handover between procurement, site engineering and the equipment supplier. Empty fields are signals to investigate, not assumptions to fill with a generic machine claim.
Inputs to evidence
- Material condition and work area
- Carrier or equipment already available
- Access, reach, exclusion and safety constraints
- Programme and following construction activity
Decision to make
- Work zone
- Carrier configuration
- Work sequence
Documents to request
- Source-matched model specification and configuration
- Operating and maintenance guidance for the quoted scope
- Project-specific verification and handover requirements

Further questions for the project team.
What is the first RIC selection input?
The work zone, material condition, access, carrier arrangement and acceptance route.
Can RIC be used in constrained areas?
It may be assessed where access is constrained, but operating space, carrier reach and project controls require confirmation.
Does a RIC record prove acceptance?
No. The project specification defines final acceptance evidence.
What happens if site conditions change?
Record the change and review the work sequence or equipment route before continuing.
