Keep traffic moving with smarter construction from the ground up.
The Problem
Road foundation under traditional compaction methods compared to the e-Compaction system.
The Solution
A revolutionary system that ensures stronger, longer lasting, and resilient roads by:
- Measuring foundation modulus and strength in real-time.
- Capturing 100% of the compacted area.
- Providing instant, data-driven insights.
- Enabling remote compaction and inspection management.
- Ensuring high data security and accuracy for compliance.
Why it Matters
The U.S. has 4.1 million miles of roads that are essential to our economy and the safety of the traveling public. Based on funding levels currently available, we need to build roads to last 100+ years.
e-Compaction vs. Intelligent Compaction
Unlike traditional Intelligent Compaction (IC),
e-Compaction:
- Measures depth and material variations.
- Provides accurate engineering data, not index estimates.
- Reduces costly delays and improves pavement life by up to 50%.

Engineered Pavement Foundations and Field Verification of Design Inputs
A Strategic Approach to Increased Pavement Performance and Lower Ownership Cost
The quality of the pavement foundation is a crucial determinant of the durability and longevity of a pavement structure. Its influence permeates various aspects of pavement engineering, from design considerations and material selection to maintenance strategies. Prioritizing foundation quality enhances pavement performance, reduces life-cycle costs, and supports sustainable infrastructure practices.
Real World Impact
e-Compaction is already making a difference.
Two $1M grants from the USDOT are helping Iowa deploy this technology to improve paved and unpaved roads, optimize maintenance, and engineer upgrades.
