Subgrade:The original ground, filled subgrade soil, sand & gravel subgrade, and other deep compaction work.
Sub-base:Graded crushed stone, natural sand & gravel, and other sub-base materials.
Base course:Cement-stabilized crushed stone, lime soil, cement-stabilized layers, and other semi-rigid base courses.
Road slopes and shoulders:Backfill compaction for slopes on both sides of the subgrade and road shoulders.
Trenches and foundation pits:Earth backfill compaction for road pipeline trenches, foundation pits, etc.
One-sentence summary:Single-drum rollers are mainly used for compacting the subgrade and base courses, and are not suitable for asphalt surface courses.
