Compaction Equipment

Wildes Plant Hire News

What Is Compaction? Soil compaction can be summarised as the conditioning and preparation of soil beneath construction to provide a solid foundation. Different types of compaction equipment are used to remove air voids from the ground by the means of applied force. Effective and reliable compaction equipment is crucial to the success of most construction projects, as the compaction of base materials is essential to the integrity of the finished concrete on top. Compactors come in a variety of different forms from tampers to large soil rollers and are used for compacting materials around foundations for roads, houses, landscaping and other types of construction – most concrete bases have used a compactor for their foundations. There are numerous factors which influence the choice of compaction equipment for […]

Optimising Engine Oil Changes

AT Wilde & Sons News

Most types of vehicles and construction equipment come with recommended manufacturing oil change intervals which will invariably have been determined through extensive testing. Predetermined intervals can only be relied on as an approximate guide, as they are unable to take into consideration specific operating conditions. Many contractors are now attempting to optimise oil drainage intervals, to prevent oil from being drained either prematurely, or too late. Regular engine care, keeping the engine and its components in good working order can help to lower the number of yearly oil changes. Modern day equipment can last tens of thousands of miles before an oil change is necessary. Potential Factors Which Could Affect Oil Performance In order to optimise oil change intervals, it is important to take into consideration how […]

Air Compressors For Construction

AT Wilde & Sons News

How Do Air Compressors Work? An air compressor is a type of machine which converts normal air into a denser, high pressurised version. Compressed air is stored under a pressure which is greater than atmospheric pressure. The conversion process is typically performed in 3 stages, air intake, air pressurisation and air release. There are two types of air compressors – positive displacement compressors and dynamic compressors. In positive displacement compression, air is drawn into one or more of the compression chambers, which is then closed off from an inlet. The volume of each chamber decreases, compressing the air internally. In dynamic compression (also known as turbo compression), air is drawn in between the blades of a rapidly rotating compression impeller, this then accelerates to a high velocity. […]

Air Filters for Industrial Engines

AT Wilde & Sons News

An industrial air filter is a device specifically designed to prevent any molecular contaminants or solid particles from entering an engine. Industrial engines require clean air in order to maintain and maximise performance – industrial environments are subject to a number of pollutants such as dust, wear particles, emissions etc. all of which can have a negative impact on the overall performance of the engine. A good quality air filtration system provides a wide range of benefits to engines in both commercial and industrial settings: If the engine is not clean it loses efficiency and water may get into the engine. What Are Industrial Air Filters Made From? There are several different types of filtration media used for air filters – the material used very much depends […]

How To Weatherproof Your Construction Site

Wildes Plant Hire News

Safety Measures Cold snaps of freezing weather, snow and ice brings with it a whole host of hazards to the construction site. Putting workers, operations material and equipment at risk – resulting in costly and time-consuming repairs and replacement.

Pre-Winter Checks It is a good idea to ensure that all access areas, roads and parking are well maintained and free from potholes. Any other type of uneven surfaces such as holes or ditches should be filled in or clearly marked, as these will collect water and freeze during low temperatures, making access and snow removal more difficult, as well as creating a more hazardous site.
