technology
* Dependent on soil type, moisture and other factors.
If you are measuring compaction with a soil compactor, your
accelerometer-based system might be missing the mark.
Machine Drive Power (MDP)
is a new, innovative soil
compaction measurement technology available only from
Caterpillar.
MDP
measures closer to the depth of the lift with less
variability than accelerometer-based systems, even on
cohesive soils. That gives you confidence that the soil you
are compacting will support the load.
