Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) is a form of dynamic compaction where a rig drops a lighter weight from a relatively low height at a rate of 40 to 60 blows/minute.
Construction of 4.5 million m3 dredged sand hydraulic reclamation and dynamic compaction (using RIC technique) to create a platform to elevate the current site to 3.5m above sea level for the construction of an industrial plant in Port Gentil – Gabon.
Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) is a form of dynamic compaction where a rig drops a lighter weight from a relatively low height at a rate of 40 to 60 blows/minute. As its foot stays in contact with the ground during the impacting sequence, energy transfer is far more effective than DC (dynamic compaction) that involves dropping a heavy weight from variable heights once or twice a minute.
