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 many construction spots worldwide as they are beneficial 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 harsh site conditions and hard-to-reach site locations, delivering consistent performance. Compressed air in construction is also used to power tools on the site, such as power hammers, drills, saws, wrenches, nail guns, and numerous other pneumatic tools. One of the major advantages of using an air compressor on a construction site is the noise-free operation and lucid maintenance.

COMMON APPLICATIONS OF COMPRESSED AIR

Operating pneumatic tools - Compressed air is used to power grinders, drills, sanders, jackhammers, impact wrenches, nail guns, and other vital construction equipment. The major advantage of using air compressors to power tools is that air compressors can power each tool as needed instead of each tool demanding its power source.
Lifting and handling operations – Lifting and handling operations are common at the construction site. Lifting equipment and handling devices use a portable screw air compressor, ensuring reliable and safe lifting and lowering the load.
Road digging, cutting, and cleaning - Road cleaning machines keep the streets, pavements, and other hard surfaces clean and free from debris. This helps in lowering the number of accidents. The road cleaning machines typically use portable air compressors.
Tunnel digging – While digging a tunnel, the ground exerts hydrostatic pressure, which is opposed by the compressed air pressure at the cutter-head. Easy maneuverability offered by the ELGi portable screw air compressor makes it best suited for this process.
