COMPACT GLAVEL
For small sites, compacting shall be performed by a lightweight vibration plate (weight: 175-200 lbs, frequency: 85-100 Hz, supporting area: 20″, straight running). So for areas >600 ft^2 you can use a soil compactor. A compression exceeding the specs results in a higher material consumption, but does not have any impact on the technical properties. For design thickness greater than 12″, Glavel must be dumped in two layers and each layer has to be compacted. The flatness of the surface has to be made before the compacting process so that a flatness tolerance of + – 1″ in relation to a length of 4 yards is achieved.
