What happens here
The video starts by showing a worker operating a plate compactor over a layer of 3/4 inch limestone, also known as CA6. The narrator emphasizes that this process ensures all the stone is completely compacted, allowing individual pieces to turn, fit together, and create a flat, stable surface. This initial visual directly counters the comment displayed on screen, 'rock doesn't need compaction.'
Goal: Visually understand the outcome of gravel compaction
Tools and materials
- Plate Compactor — To compact the gravel and create a flat, stable surface
