What is retaining walls?

Retaining walls can hold dirt or other materials in place. It does this by artificially separating the soil so that the empty space of the soil can be used.

What is Footings and Foundation Projects?

Foundation is to provide support for the structure, the purpose of foundation engineering is to transfer the original pressure to the soil layer or rock layer with enough bearing capacity. It can make the structure of soil more stable. Therefore foundation engineering is the first step of construction, but also the key step in the construction process.

How does a plate compactor work?

The vibratory rollers and vibratory plate compactor can be used to strengthen the foundation in making the retaining wall. In practical application, after the completion of the basic construction, the retaining wall needs to use the soil to withstand a certain amount of pressure. In this link, a watering truck will wet the ground so that the earth reaches the required density. And then a vibratory rollers or a vibratory plate compactor can compact the soil matrix of a large area. A small area of the ground is compacted by a tamping rammer. The two compacting devices can be used in combination. The principle is that these compacting devices vibrate sand and gravel. It causes soil particles to reposition and forms dense structures. and then it strengthens the soil and maximizes the effectiveness of the retaining wall. 

The vibratory rollers and vibratory plate compactor are also used in foundation engineering. The vibratory rollers and the vibratory plate compactor all play the role of compacting the soil. In order for the foundation to be stable, the soil must be compacted, so the vibratory rollers and plate compactors comes into play here, it can bring the soil up to the standard density, and thus meet the standard of compacting.
