Understanding Intelligent Compaction in Construction
Intelligent Compaction (IC) is a cutting-edge technology that involves using advanced systems like GPS, lasers, and temperature gauges to optimize the process of compacting soil, asphalt, or base materials. With IC, construction crews can achieve improved density, increased productivity, and reduced highway repair costs by ensuring proper compaction levels. This comprehensive guide covers the basics of IC, its benefits, the technology involved, and how it enhances project outcomes in construction projects. Be prepared to embrace a smarter, more efficient way of achieving optimal compaction results.

Intelligent Compaction By: Adam Ross KYTC Div. of Construction
What is Intelligent Compaction?? What is IC? How Intelligent is smashing things together? Why we going to use IC? What are you going to have to do?
The Smart Roller Positioning System GPS Laser Cell Temperature Gauges (asphalt) Accelerometer Onboard Reporting System with display screen
What it tells us Where the roller went What it did to the Soil, DGA, or Asphalt Temperature of the Asphalt Stiffness of the material
Why use this stuff?? Test more area Limit amount of extra rolling Improved Density Increased Productivity Reduction of Highway Repair Costs Continuous Record of Material Stiffness Values Identification of Non-Compacted Areas Improved Depth of Compaction
KYTC and IC Special Notes 5 projects in 2015 2 Grade and Drain and Aggregate Base 2 Asphalt only 1 Soil, Ag. Base, and Asphalt Specifications still govern acceptance
Inspection Test strip required to set pass count and target stiffness Get the data and review it (VEDA) Have your density tests surveyed to correlate to the IC value
