Rapid Impact Compaction (16-Ton Drop Hammer) for Factory Foundation Improvement
About This Video
On-site footage of Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) for factory foundation improvement.
How serious can foundation settlement become? The impact crater shown here provides a clear visual answer.

Its depth indicates the potential natural settlement that may develop over time if the foundation is not properly treated. When settlement exceeds allowable limits, it can directly affect the safe and stable operation of equipment inside the factory.
The Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) system is equipped with a 16-ton drop weight, delivering up to 240 kJ of impact energy and achieving an effective compaction depth of 5 to 9 meters.
With a working height of only 7.6 meters, the system can operate efficiently inside factory buildings. It offers high mobility, flexible maneuverability, and excellent compaction efficiency, making it ideal for industrial foundation improvement in confined spaces.
