A compaction unit ( 100 ) includes (a) an elongated open-ended ramming chamber ( 50 ) having a fill port opening ( 51 ). A ramming head ( 20 ) pushes material within ramming chamber ( 50 ) to add a new lift to a continuous homogeneous block ( 40 ) comprised of all previously compressed material. As the ramming head ( 20 ) moves forward, it closes off the fill port opening ( 51 ). A shearing chamber ( 60 ) fractures the blocks to any desired length, while a support platform ( 70 ) supports and stores the blocks until utilized. The shearing chamber ( 60 ) moves transverse to the ramming chamber to form the fracture.
