What happens here

After the limestone aggregate has been dumped, use appropriate tools to spread and level it evenly across the entire surface of the geogrid. Once spread, compact the limestone layer thoroughly using a vibratory compactor or plate tamper. Achieve the specified compaction density to ensure optimal stability and load transfer within the reinforced section. Proper compaction is essential for the long-term performance and structural integrity of the geogrid-reinforced embankment.

Goal: Create a dense and stable aggregate layer

Tools and materials

  • Rake — Spreading and leveling the aggregate
  • Vibratory Compactor — Compacting the limestone aggregate to achieve density
  • Limestone Aggregate — The material being compacted
