ABSTRACT:
A two-to-one or greater slope is stabilized by rolling a vibratory compactor upslope and simultaneously vibrating the compactor's roller. The compactor comprises a frame on which is rotatably mounted a suitable compaction roller. An engine is rotatably mounted on the frame, and means are provided for adjusting the tilt of the engine relative to the frame, so that, in use, the engine will remain upright while driving the vibratory shaft of the roller. The engine is remotely controlled, as by radio waves, by an operator riding a vehicle on the shoulder of the embankment. A crane and winch on the vehicle riding on the embankment control the movements of the compactor on the slope.
