Examples of use of compaction
1. Sure, there were environmental benefits: spraying less fertilizer and fewer herbicides; not overwatering; cutting fuel costs and reducing soil compaction.
2. Several benchmarks are associated with water–well casings that reach as deep as 1.2 miles – far below sediment layers that would be affected by removing ground– water in the region or by compaction, Dokka says.
3. "We have just completed the compaction work done by Vibro Foundation and awarded the piling contract to Laing–Emtech, who will soon start piling works on the ground," Boocher said.
4. Dokka‘s theories on how natural tectonic fault movements cause subsidence run counter to studies that have shown oil extraction and soil compaction as main reasons why the land is sinking.
