All LF compactors are factory prepared for mounting a block paving kit. If you have an older machine, without factory made holes, a drill fixture is available.
Compaction has a profound influence on asphalt performance. Compaction transforms the asphalt mix from a loose state to a compact surface that carry heavy loads.
Efficiency of compaction depends heavily on the internal resistance of asphalt.
Tools must be able to compact without leaving marks and water is important to create a smooth surface.
Silt needs proper water content for good compacting. The cohesive soils, like clay and silt, have the smallest particles of all soils.
Silt particles are larger than in clay, but they are still small enough to require high energy for deep compacting.
A powerful forward plate together with your experience gets the job done.
For sand and gravel you can achieve high density compaction in either a dry or saturated state. The level of compaction depends more on grading than on moisture.
Too much compaction of sand and gravel is like beating a concrete wall with a sledgehammer.
It can crush the material and reduce the load bearing capacity.
