WHAT IS AN AIR COMPRESSOR USED FOR IN CONSTRUCTION?

With about $10 trillion spent on construction-related goods and services every year, the construction sector is one of the largest in the world economy.

Portable/Towable air compressors can be easily spotted on most construction spots as they are extremely useful due to their high output and efficiency. Heavy-duty portable air compressors are most robust and well-suited to the unique needs of road building, restoration work, civil engineering and various other construction applications. They are designed to handle tough site conditions as well as hard to reach site locations, delivering consistent performance. Compressed air in construction is used also to power tools such as power hammers, drills, saws, wrenches, nail guns and numerous other pneumatic tools. One of the major advantages of using air compressor on a construction site is the noise-free operation and easy maintenance they provide.

COMMON APPLICATIONS OF COMPRESSED AIR

Pneumatic Tools – Compressed air is an excellent source of energy for power tools such as drills, jackhammers, impact wrenches, grinders, sanders, nail guns and other vital construction equipment. The main advantage of using air compressors to power these tools is that instead of using a variety of tools each requiring their own power source, a single air compressor can be used to power each tool as needed.
Lifting and handling operation –Lifting and handling operations are unavoidable in the construction industry. Lifting operation can be carried out both manually and using lifting equipment. Lifting equipment and handling devices use portable screw air compressor which ensures reliable and safe lifting and lowering of the load.
Road digging, cutting and cleaning - Road cleaning machines are used to keep roads, pavements and other hard surfaces clean and free from debris. Doing so helps in reducing the number of accidents. The road cleaning machines typically use portable air compressors.
Tunnel digging – During the process of digging a tunnel the ground exerts hydrostatic pressure which is opposed by the compressed air pressure at the cutter-head. Easy manoeuvrability offered by ELGi portable screw air compressor makes it best suited for this process.
