A road roller training course

Road rollers use the weight of the vehicle to compress the surface being rolled (static) or use mechanical advantage (vibrating). Initial compaction of the substrate on a road project is done using a pad foot or “sheep’s foot” drum roller, which achieves higher compaction density due to the pads having less surface area. On regional roads, a smaller single pad foot drum machine may be used. The next machine is usually a single smooth drum compactor that compacts the high spots down until the soil is smooth. This is usually done in combination with a motor grader to obtain a level surface. Sometimes at this stage a pneumatic tyre roller is used.
