The suitability for a particular type of soil
- Capacity of the roller
- Efficiency of the various rollers

During earthwork following volume measurements are used –
- Bank measure volume
- Loose measure volume
- Compacted volume
- Bank measure volume – the volume of earth measured prior to excavation is called bank measure volume .
- Loose measure volume – This is the volume of excavated soil . This volume is useful for transportation payment .
- Compacted volume – This is the volume of earth after the compaction . Suppose certain areas are to be filled up , we have to specify the compacted density . This volume will be useful in this payment .
