Townhouse Development
Eastern Ontario, Canada
Project Overview: In the construction of a 66-unit townhouse community in Eastern Ontario, maintaining high standards in soil compaction was essential to ensure the stability and longevity of the structures. The project required effective compaction monitoring to meet residential construction standards without escalating costs.
Challenges: The primary challenge was managing the extensive soil compaction needs efficiently while controlling costs. Traditional methods requiring a full-time onsite tester would increase the project expenses significantly and could potentially delay the schedule due to dependency on manual testing schedules and results.
Solution: Compactica was implemented to automate the compaction testing and monitoring process. By utilizing its advanced sensor technology and real-time data capabilities, Compactica offered a streamlined approach to ensure optimal soil compaction across the development site.
Implementation:
Automated Monitoring System: Compactica’s sensors were installed on the compaction equipment, continuously recording and analyzing soil compaction data as the work progressed.
Real-Time Adjustments: Operators received immediate feedback from Compactica’s software, enabling on-the-fly adjustments to the compaction process, ensuring consistency and precision without the need for manual testing interruptions.
Results:
Significant Cost Savings: The automation of compaction monitoring with Compactica eliminated the need for a full-time onsite compaction tester, saving the project substantial labor costs.
Increased Construction Efficiency: Compactica’s efficiency in monitoring and adjusting compaction processes in real-time kept the project on or ahead of schedule, avoiding delays that are common with manual testing methods.
Consistent Quality Assurance: The system ensured that all areas of the development met strict compaction criteria, providing a reliable foundation for the townhouse units, thus reducing future settlement risks.
Enhanced Project Management: The comprehensive data collected by Compactica allowed geotechnical project managers to have better oversight and control, facilitating informed decision-making throughout the development phase.
Using Compactica transformed our approach to managing soil compaction in the townhouse development project. We not only saved on costs by reducing the need for onsite personnel but also enhanced our overall project efficiency and quality assurance. Compactica proved to be an invaluable asset in ensuring that we built on a solid foundation.
