Before starting construction work, preliminary surface preparation and compaction of bulk materials are required. These can be:
Chernozem | Gravel | Crushed stone |
---|---|---|
Clay | Asphalt | Paving stones |
Paving slabs | Sand | Other materials |
Lightweight products are used to compact the soil during landscaping and densely laying paving slabs. Mediums are able to cope with any task, so they are classified as universal attitudes. It is these models that are in high demand and are considered in demand in the modern market. Heavy Vibratory Plates are classified as professional equipment that is used for laying foundations, paving stones, sidewalks and road construction. Thus, it is possible to improve air permeability and fill the existing voids. The bearing properties of the soil are increased.
If the working surface is not properly prepared, then as a result, the destruction of the coating, foundation and other troubles is possible. By means of a vibrating plate, it is possible to uniformly compact the working surface. It is used on construction sites and places where the use of massive equipment is not possible or advisable.
