What is the maximum speed limit for steel wheeled breakdown rollers during compaction?

The maximum speed limit for steel wheeled breakdown rollers during compaction is 3 mph. This limit is established to ensure optimal compaction results and prevent potential damage to the pavement being compacted. At speeds exceeding this limit, the effectiveness of the compaction process may decline, leading to insufficient density and strength in the material being compacted. A slower speed allows for adequate time and pressure to achieve the desired compaction while minimizing the risk of creating surface defects or unevenness. Therefore, maintaining the maximum speed at 3 mph is crucial for achieving high-quality pavement compaction in roadway maintenance and construction.
