Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) is an advanced ground improvement technique that uses a hydraulic hammer mounted on an excavator to deliver high-energy impacts to the soil surface. This innovative method effectively densifies loose granular soils, improving bearing capacity and reducing settlement risks for construction foundations.
Developed by Cao Bin, the inventor of China's hydraulic compactor, our RIC equipment has been exported to countries across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Singapore, Indonesia, Angola, and the Maldives.

Rapid Impact Compaction technology is suitable for various ground improvement projects
Improve bearing capacity for commercial and residential building foundations, reducing settlement risks and ensuring structural stability.
Compact subgrade soils for highways, roads, and parking lots to prevent differential settlement and extend pavement life.
Stabilize runway and taxiway foundations to meet strict aviation standards for load-bearing capacity and settlement control.
Strengthen railway track beds and embankments to prevent track deformation and ensure safe, smooth train operations.
Prepare ground for heavy industrial facilities, warehouses, and storage yards that require high bearing capacity.
Compact soil behind bridge abutments to eliminate the "bump at the bridge" problem caused by differential settlement.
RIC can treat 500-2000 square meters per day, significantly faster than traditional compaction methods.
Effective treatment depth ranges from 1.2 to 9 meters, depending on the model selected.
Compared to dynamic compaction, RIC produces less vibration and can work near existing structures.
Reduce material costs by improving in-situ soils instead of importing fill materials.
No flying debris, minimal noise, and no chemical additives required for soil improvement.
Our RIC equipment has been deployed in major construction projects worldwide
HC240 and HC180 models used for highway subgrade compaction, treating over 50,000 square meters in 30 days.
HC300 heavy-duty compaction for airport runway foundation, achieving bearing capacity of 300 kPa.
HC150 and HC108 models for port container yard ground improvement, supporting heavy container loads.
