Compactors are often used on construction projects to spread and compact bulk fill. Rather than relying on traditional survey stakes, a GPS compactor can view design reference for every millimeter of the job from within the machine cab.
With constant design reference, the operator can ensure that the placed fill covers the entire earthworks footprint, reducing potential delays further down the line. As real-time elevations are available to the operator, the compactor can also ensure consistent layer lifts as well as shaping the fill in a way that ensures its protection from wet weather ponding.
