The importance of ramming on the construction site
Proper foundation preparation is one side of the work, first of all builders evaluate the soil and terrain, take measures to strengthen it, if necessary, or decide to move the construction to another location. It is in this case and resort to the help of compact tamping machines.
Every year, experts suggest evaluating new, increasingly sophisticated machines, in the heart of which can be a diesel or gasoline drive. The tool can have its own purpose - working with soils, sand, gravel, or some other building material.
On large construction sites, soil compaction is carried out using devices controlled by a person who can sit. All this allows us to significantly increase the speed of work and, accordingly, to hand over the object in time for further construction.
If it is required to carry out compaction in a limited area, manual tamping can help in this. It is a massive element with a handle and a fairly large footprint. Making tools independently, craftsmen often take a smoothly sawn timber.
Soil compaction methods
To properly compaction soil, it is not necessary to buy a special device. Maybe this work will have to be done only once in a lifetime. In such cases, experts propose to the craftsmen to make a vibrating pad for compacting the earth themselves.
In fact, the most convenient option is a smooth log, with which you can easily press the ground, form a dense surface. If a person wants to finish the preparatory work as soon as possible, the electric rammer will help in this, like nothing else.
At the moment there are thousands of options for this tool, differing in power, price and manufacturer. Before you go to a specialized store, you need to know on what soil the construction will be carried out, and what its condition is.
However, it is worth recalling that the option of working with special equipment may not only be overhead, but also unnecessary.
How to do without mechanics?
If the space of the land is limited, the can always perform a quality ramming on its own using 's handy tools. In addition to wooden bars, builders can use special iron sheets, fastened together and equipped with a handle, they allow tightly pressing down the earth with the weight of a person.
It will take a long time to work this way, but this will save money and make everything as high as possible. In fact, ramming the soil is the key to successful construction and the reliability of the house. In order for the base to be as strong as possible, it is possible to use crushed stone, which is poured into the excavated pit. Strengthening works are carried out with the help of tamping machines or improvised means.
Moving centimeter after centimeter, you can observe how the surface becomes less and less loose, the rubble is gradually absorbed in sand or earth, which means that the work passes right. In fact, tamping with their own hands is an alternative for those.who does not have the ability to use technology and works in a small space.
