The Dynamic Compaction Company, Inc.


		In the early 1980’s, at the height of the building boom in the Northeast, "good" property was quickly developed, leaving more and more "unsuitable" sites. Engineering firms were increasingly pressured to design buildings on sites with undesirable soil conditions. These sites, formerly deemed "un-developable", can now be developed utilizing dynamic compaction to improve the soil conditions so that conventional spread footings may be constructed.
		Founded in 1984, The Dynamic Compaction Company, Inc. has successfully performed over 150 projects on sites containing silts, clays, loose sands, organic soils, granular soils, cinders, fly-ash, refuse, coal fragments and miscellaneous debris.
		Among the most common sites are demolition rubble dumps, landfills and other loose, uncontrolled fills. Materials up to 30 feet deep can be successfully densified using dynamic compaction. Dynamic compaction can be used when piles or excavate and backfill are cost prohibitive. The dynamic compaction process is efficient, and extremely cost-effective while eliminating the need for pile foundations and other expensive ground preparation techniques.
