Sundt Construction’s first use of intelligent compaction technology, on a nine-mile highway expansion in central Arizona discovered some sub-par subgrade compaction that would have been overlooked ...

“Even though the compaction of soil is a process [that] began hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago,” Luke Sevcik product application and training specialist for Wacker Neuson, guesstimates, “the ...

Little by little, the experienced roller operator is becoming a rarity on today's job sites. This isn't for a lack of demand. In fact, due to more sophisticated asphalt mix designs, increasing quality ...

Compacting asphalt pavement sufficiently is crucial to extending the life of roadways. Intelligent compaction technologies offer methods of evaluating the state of pavement compaction in real time, ...

How often have you run over a nasty pothole or gotten a headache from driving on the bumpy pavement? No matter where you live, everyone claims to have the worst roads — and everyone’s rights to a ...

Pavement performance depends on many factors. Mix designs, ambient and mix temperatures, rolling methods, joints, and types of equipment used can all be analyzed and tweaked to deliver a better ...

To illustrate the intelligent-compaction (IC) roller’s potential to increase production, Kevin Garcia—road and paving construction segment manager for Trimble Navigation—relates an experiment Trimble ...

Highway construction often faces challenges in ensuring long-term subgrade performance due to traditional compaction quality control (QC) methods that rely on manual ...

Nationwide research is firming up the case for “intelligent” compaction, or IC, a construction method three decades in the making that could save billions of dollars a year in potholed roads, cracked ...

The Minnesota Department of Transportation will hold two open houses this month to demonstrate a new technology that’s designed to improve road performance. The technology, known as “intelligent ...

A new quality-control tool for road construction developed by Electrical & Biomedical Engineering Professor Sesh Commuri debuted last week at the ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas, one of the largest ...

Researchers have developed a new machine-learning technique that applies the Goldilocks principle to road compaction quality. Researchers have developed new "intelligent compaction" technology, which ...
