Compaction Systems

Efficient and reliable compaction is crucial for all types of construction work – from roads and infrastructure to building sites. With BOMAG’s intelligent compaction systems, you gain full control over quality, efficiency, and cost.

At Hesselberg, we offer three unique BOMAG systems that set the standard for modern soil and asphalt compaction:

• Economizer – smart monitoring of compaction quality.
• Terrameter – precise real-time measurement of soil stiffness.
• Variocontrol – intelligent vibration adjustment for optimal resul

Measure Compaction Quality in Real Time

Proper compaction is essential for durable results. With BOMAG Economizer, the operator receives immediate feedback on how well the subsoil has been compacted. The system identifies both optimally compacted areas and weak spots, helping to avoid both over- and under-compaction.

Benefits of Economizer:

• Up to 25% fewer passes – saving time and fuel.
• Continuous monitoring of compaction levels.
• User-friendly – the operator knows exactly what needs to be done.
• Higher productivity without compromising on quality.

Advanced Measurement Technology for Soil Compaction

Traditional plate tests only measure selected points, which can give an incomplete picture. With BOMAG Terrameter, the roller becomes a "rolling pressure plate" that measures the entire surface in real time.

The Terrameter records soil stiffness (E-VIB value) with high precision and detects even small weak spots that might otherwise be overlooked.

Benefits of Terrameter:

• Full surface coverage, not just individual points.
• Precise measurements with two sensors and high frequency.
• Detects weak spots down to 10 cm intervals.
• Provides documentation and assurance of correct compaction.

Intelligent Compaction Without Compromise

With Variocontrol, compaction energy is automatically adjusted according to ground conditions. The drum vibrates linearly and adapts to the terrain, achieving maximum effect where needed while providing gentle treatment near buildings or sensitive structures.

Benefits of Variocontrol:

• 20% higher compaction performance compared to standard rollers.
• Greater depth effect on challenging materials.
• Fewer passes – lower costs.
• Gentle compaction in sensitive areas.
• Easy operation with a single switch and automatic mode.

With BOMAG solutions, you get more than just machines – you get intelligent systems that:

• Reduce operating costs.
• Increase productivity.
• Provide precise control and documentation.
• Deliver durable and professional results.
