German firm MOBA is now offering a tool that can help boost the efficiency of soil compaction operations. The company’s MOBA MCA-2000 roller system is designed to help the roller driver achieve optimum compaction in earthworks. This is important as the load-bearing capacity of the subgrade of a construction site can be crucial and material compaction is vital. Uniform compaction can prevent subsequent plastic deformations and ground settling.

German firm MOBA is now offering a tool that can help boost the efficiency of soil compaction operations. The company’s MOBA MCA-2000 roller system is designed to help the roller driver achieve optimum compaction in earthworks. This is important as the load-bearing capacity of the subgrade of a construction site can be crucial and material compaction is vital. Uniform compaction can prevent subsequent plastic deformations and ground settling.
But whether an area has been compacted to the specification is difficult to detect by visual inspection so monitoring equipment is important. The1228 MOBA MCA-2000 roller system provides information about the passes made by the machine and allows the operator to meet the required specification.
The position of the roller is determined by a GNSS sensor, while the MCA-2000 unit records the lanes and number of passes carried out in each area. The system compares the number of passes with the programmed target and shows the current status in real time on the touch screen display. The colour profile clearly indicates to the driver where sufficient passes have already been made as well as highlighting where further passes are required. The system stores this data so that the information can be used for documentation and inspection purposes. The unit is said to be simple to install and use, with a simple menu layout. The company claims that the package allows inexperienced operators to achieve effective working, as well as boosting the productivity and efficiency of experienced personnel. Additional benefits include reduced fuel consumption and working time.
