SOIL COMPACTION WITH IMPACTOR 2000

The IMPACTOR 2000 is ideal for projects with high density specs. - Liners - Dams - AA subgrade compaction

At 7 mph, as much as 100,000 yd³ of fill may be compacted in a 10-hour day. (Click on the picture to enlarge)

 

The patented and convertible V-Grader may be used to smooth or scarify the
surface. The smoothing process provides an ideal drainage plane for erosion
control while scarification ensures superior bonding of additional lifts.

Testimonials:

"The Impactor worked very well in obtaining an amazing 104% density on the sandy material with very little compacting efforts. In addition to the sand, it also obtained a 98% density on the clay material in three passes using 1 to 2-foot lifts."

Project: Koppers Company, Inc. - Superfund Site - Feather River Plant
Oroville, California - September 1996

"One phase of the project in which we were involved required a three-foot clay liner over a four-acre site compacted to 93% minimum compaction with very tight moisture tolerances. Prior to using the Impactor 2000 we had tried several compactors including Caterpillar’s 815, 825, and 84" vibratory pad drum, brothers 20-ton rubber tired roller, and a Hyster 740 double-drum sheepsfoot compactor. We were unable to achieve passing tests with any consistency with any of these compactors, and our cost was considerably over budget."

"I am pleased to report that, using the Impactor 2000, we were able to get compaction and permeability tests to pass regularly. We parked all the other compaction tools and were able to complete the project ON TIME."

"We have now finished our second job using the Impactor 2000, which we have affectionately named the "Thumper". On both of these jobs, the Impactor has proven itself as an effective compaction tool. I have to admit that when I first heard about being able to deposit a three-foot lift and then compact, I was skeptical to say the least. Once we convinced the geotechnical engineers that compaction could be done in lifts up to three feet, the Impactor 2000 achieved specific compaction or greater."
