Before you begin construction, you need a smooth and stable ground. The loose soil needs to be compacted tightly on to the surface, especially to ensure that your constructed building does not topple over due to tiny pockets of air.
Since this part of the construction process requires some effort, you can rely on heavy-duty equipment to take care of the process for you.
The most popular option to smooth out the ground is to use a roller. Rollers have been around for a long time – back from when horses were used to pull the heavy cylinders over agricultural sites. Over time, rollers were developed to use steam engine technology to operate.
In today’s world, rollers have become far more efficient and specialized. Depending upon the type of construction site you are working on, the roller you would need is specified. The differences between the rollers are what makes each one suitable for a specific purpose, especially since there are many different ways that rollers can be used.
The most common types of rollers used for construction are:
If you want a roller to smooth out the surface of a garden, then you can opt for a cylindrical roller. This type of roller is light-weight and can be controlled by a single person who pushes it. These cylindrical rollers are typically small in size, up to 1m in diameter. Most cylindrical rollers are made using concrete, stone, or iron – materials that are heavy in nature.
If you are working on a larger construction site that requires more work, then a grid roller would be a great option. This roller is made with steel bars that form a grid pattern – thus the name of the roller. If the weight of the roller is not sufficient for your construction site, it is possible to add additional steel attachments to create more pressure. Since grid rollers are heavy, they are operated using a tractor with an engine that pulls it.
Grid rollers are often used to smooth out coarse soil and weathered rocks. Even for certain road constructions, grid rollers are a popular option.
For commercial construction projects, pneumatic rollers are used. These rollers have multiple rows of large, rubber tires that create pressure. The main reason behind using rubber on the tires is to ensure consistent pressure throughout the roller, and to cover a large area of space at once.
Pneumatic rollers are often used for pavements and polishing of a construction site. If there are multiple layers of loose soil present on a site, pneumatic rollers are brought to smooth it all out at once.
