Earth Work & Soil Solutions

Earthworks can be described as the disturbance of land surfaces by blading, contouring, ripping, moving, removing, placing or replacing soil or earth by excavation, or by cutting or filling operations.

It is associated with the formation of any new road or track or the upgrade of any existing road or track excluding normal maintenance of established roads and track.

Any activities that expose, disturb, places of deposits land and soil. Such activities include, but are not limited to tracking, roads, clean fill sites, cut and fill operations, quarrying and re-contouring which is the same expertise of Al Osais earthworks division.

Compaction

Quality

Tact with the ground at all times, eliminating the risk of flying debris. Unlike conventional Dynamic Compaction ; other activities can take place in close proximity.

The impact energy and soil deflections are recorded by the onboard computer for presentation of compaction data. The information can highlight weak zones where extra fill is required or zones where underground obstructions are present (i.e. previously hidden old foundations)

Control

Almost half of the cost of other excavation and replacement traditional techniques.

Safety

The impact foot is always in contact with the ground, eliminating the risk of flying debris. Unlike conventional DC, other activities can take place in close proximity.

Speed

The unit is mounted on standard excavators, typically in the 40-90 tons class and can be mobilized in minutes from arrival on site
RIC Methodology

The method for efficiently covering the ground varies from country to country. A common pattern used to cover a track in three passes [see diagram below]. The outer points (black) being compacted first, followed by the intermediate (orange) and lastly the infilling positions (blue). This has the effect of achieving the best depth of influence. The first pass affecting the ground to a deeper level than the latter.
