Pipeline Trench Backfill with an Excavator Plate Compactor

A pipeline contractor needed layer-by-layer compaction in deep trenches and on sloped spoil. Excavator-mounted plate compactors replaced walk-behind rammers inside the trench.

Excavator-mounted hydraulic plate compactor compacting trench backfill

The challenge

Workers inside deep trenches face collapse risk, and rammers were slow on long sections and on embankment slopes.

Our solution

  • Hydraulic plate compactors sized for 12–20 t excavators.
  • Narrow plate for trench work, wide plate for slopes.
  • Tilt hitch for compacting sloped shoulders.

Results on site

  • No workers needed inside the trench
  • Compaction on slopes from the trench edge
  • Faster backfill cycles
