DYNAMIC COMPACTION

Kanawha Stone Company, Inc. has developed an expertise in dynamic compaction. This technique allows owners to begin building construction immediately after the placement of large fills. The process produces additional soil compaction by dropping a specially constructed weight at a designed height on a controlled interval over a newly constructed fill area decreasing the effect of long-term settelment. This method is also used on landfill projects to improve air space without the costs of cell expansion.
