Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) equipment are being used at the construction site in Madinah, Saudi Arabia.
About This Video
More than 10 units of HC150 and HC180 Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) equipment are actively operating at a construction site in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, supporting foundation compaction and ground improvement works for the project. The equipment is being used for deep soil compaction and subgrade improvement to enhance bearing capacity and ensure a stable foundation for future construction.
The HC150 Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) model is equipped with a 10-ton drop hammer, providing stable and efficient impact energy for medium-depth foundation treatment. The HC180 model is equipped with a heavier 12-ton drop hammer, delivering stronger compaction energy for deeper and more demanding soil conditions. Both models achieve an effective compaction depth ranging from 4 meters to 8 meters, making them suitable for a wide range of ground improvement applications in large-scale infrastructure projects.
With multiple RIC units operating simultaneously on-site, the project benefits from high construction efficiency, consistent compaction quality, and improved treatment uniformity across different soil zones. The HC150 and HC180 models are widely recognized for their strong impact performance, reliable hydraulic system stability, and excellent adaptability to complex soil conditions commonly found in Middle East construction environments.
This project further demonstrates the effective application of Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) technology in Saudi Arabia, providing a proven and cost-efficient solution for foundation compaction and ground improvement in large-scale engineering projects.
