tiivistystoiminnasta
Tiivistystoiminta, known in English as consolidation or compacting, refers to a process of reducing the volume or density of a material. This can be achieved through various methods depending on the substance being treated. For instance, in the context of waste management, tiivistystoiminta involves pressing or squeezing materials like household waste or industrial byproducts to decrease their size. This reduction in volume facilitates more efficient transportation and storage, as fewer trips are needed to haul the material, and it occupies less space in landfills or processing facilities.
In construction and engineering, tiivistystoiminta is crucial for improving the properties of soil, concrete, or asphalt.
