Cobbles and Boulders
COBBLES
> 60 mm
BOULDERS
> 100 mm
APPLICATION
Primarily for embankments for road, rail track, foundations for buildings or other large construction projects.
COMPACTABILITY
The material needs high compaction energy to shift large boulders and achieve the necessary density and stability. Layer thickness should be three times thicker than max particle size.
EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATION*
Rockfill will require the compaction impact of our reversible plates such as the LH700 or LH800 for large construction projects, or the lighter LG500.
*General information only; it is the buyer’s decision which equipment to choose for a job.
