Compaction equipment selection route

Compaction Selection: plan the method around the project evidence.

Compaction equipment selection should move from the project objective and site evidence to a practical equipment route, rather than starting from a preferred machine category.

CMG uses material, work area, access, available power or carrier equipment, programme and acceptance requirements to discuss impact rollers, hydraulic compaction, vibratory rollers or support equipment.

Discuss this project route
Compaction Selection

Method fit

Start with a clear fit discussion and a clear review boundary.

Typical discussion contexts

  • Projects that can provide ground information, a defined work area and a clear following construction activity.
  • Procurement teams comparing impact, hydraulic, vibratory and support equipment before narrowing the working system.
  • Sites where access, turning space, available towing or carrier equipment and acceptance planning can be documented.

Conditions requiring review

  • Variable or saturated ground, adjacent structures, restricted access and mixed materials require project-specific review.
  • Method choice cannot be made from energy value, machine weight or model label alone.
  • Final treatment method, work sequence and acceptance remain controlled by the responsible project team.

Equipment and programme

Equipment selection follows the work plan.

Use this solution page to prepare the engineering inputs, then review the relevant equipment route alongside the project work zones, access and verification requirements.

Decision workflow

Make each project stage traceable.

  1. 1. Capture the project brief

    Record material, moisture, work area, access, programme, available equipment and acceptance route.

  2. 2. Compare working routes

    Review impact rolling, hydraulic impact, conventional vibration and support equipment against the site constraints.

  3. 3. Configure the complete system

    Select the machine or attachment with its power unit, damping, monitoring and support needs together.

  4. 4. Plan access and control zones

    Set out equipment movement, turning space, exclusion arrangements and documentation points.

  5. 5. Hand over to the next work package

    Complete the project-defined inspection or testing route before releasing the area.

Controls and evidence

Operate to a project-defined control plan.

  • Start with ground information and project requirements, not a catalogue preference.
  • Keep energy, model and working-system decisions linked to the actual site.
  • Confirm access, turning space, carrier compatibility and equipment movement before mobilisation.
  • Stop and review when material, moisture, access or programme conditions change.

Verification planning

Agree the acceptance route before equipment selection is finalised.

Use project-defined inspection or testing rather than machine activity as final evidence.

Document the basis of the equipment decision and retain it with the project RFQ.

Relevant equipment

Connect the method to the right equipment discussion.

Engineering FAQ

Questions to resolve before an RFQ.

What is the first step in CMG equipment selection?

Provide the material, moisture, work area, access, programme, available power or carrier equipment and acceptance route.

Should the decision start with a model number?

No. The site brief should define the method and working-system discussion before a model is confirmed.

Can one machine work for every zone?

Not automatically. Access, material and work-package differences may require different equipment routes.

When is the selection complete?

When the complete working system, project controls, documentation and acceptance route are aligned.
