ADR Compaction
The ADR Compactor is a military variant of the Rapid Impact Compactor based on a hydraulic piling hammer. It is designed to integrate with Airfield Damage Repair equipment and reduce repair lead-times on bomb crater repair.
It is used in combination with a suitable Heavy Wheeled Tractor on various crater repair techniques; ‘Clean-Bowl’, ‘Mat’ or ‘Flood-Grout’ methods.
- Resettlement of pavement disturbed by heav
- Fragmentation of displaced debris for ease of removal or demolitio
- Compaction of back-fill material
- Spot-Levelling of repaired surfaces
Fast mobilisation and accurate compaction is achieved when the Compactor is attached to a suitable Heavy Wheel tractor of correct mass. Usually the HWT needs to be of 5 cu.m bucket capacity. Exact size depends on the level of armour plating on the tractor and therefore its inherent mass for stability.
Precise manoeuvring and accurate blow control allows operation in close proximity to other repair activities on adjacent craters. Operator control of the blow can be done from either the HWT cab or by a groundsman.
