No compactor or roller is offered for hire in Ahmedabad at present. A contractor can file a request with the surface and area, and owners can list a compactor free. Other cities are on the India compactor page.
Access roads for the bullet-train corridor and the metro need granular base and asphalt laid in compacted layers. City roads and industrial estate streets at Sanand and Changodar are resurfaced and extended, and plots at GIFT City need fill compacted before slabs are cast. Trenches opened for services all end with backfill that must be tamped.
Smooth drum rollers finish asphalt and compact granular layers. Padfoot rollers knead cohesive soil. Vibratory drums add force for thick lifts, and plate compactors and rammers work trenches and small areas.
Black cotton soil is expansive, so it swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Builders often remove it or replace it with granular fill, then compact the fill at controlled moisture. Tell the owner what material you are rolling and the layer thickness so a suitable drum weight is chosen. In hot, dry weather, fill loses moisture quickly, so a water bowser should be ready.
Agree the number of passes expected and whether vibration may be used beside buildings. Asphalt rollers need water for the sprays, and the paving crew's start time sets yours. Ask whether the price covers an operator and diesel.
Rollers need a trailer and plate units fit in a van. Buyers can look at compactors for sale in Ahmedabad, and the Ahmedabad rental hub lists further categories.
