What happens here

Once a section of the pool has been cleared of debris and side walls, use the excavator to perform compression compaction on the exposed soil. The machine's weight and movements are utilized to firmly press and settle the soil, creating a dense and stable sub-base. This process is essential to eliminate voids and prevent future settlement, especially in areas where new construction or landscaping will occur.

Goal: Achieve a stable and dense soil base in the former pool area.

faithfulness [Music] or he's not sometimes I don't know what he's gonna do [Music] so right now he's fishing for any very concrete he doesn't want any of that left so the reason he's even sorting the dirt is that black dirt will get reused in the organic upper layer of the swimming pool but in the lower layers where we consider to be the structural zone we're pretty picky about what we allow down in that area so you'll see him driving back and forth and what he's doing is he's using compression compaction to settle the soil in place so that we don't have any future problems down the road now we would not we've experienced where you can compact a swimming pool too much and not grow grass so we've got to be careful that we use just the right amount of compaction and compression compaction has never failed us yet [Music] now every swimming pool is built differently but a lot of them have a concrete footing down at the base of their support we've got to excavate all of the soil away from that footing so that we can then remove it and that's gonna happen on the next video so make sure you guys stick around for the next one and that's all we've got for you today guys god bless and go get them and next time we're gonna be tearing out all of the concrete in this swimming pool so he grabs that it's going to probably take the whole back end of his machine like when you're trying to rip out a footing your whole body tenses up like all you're literally doing is holding the controls of the machine but the harder the machine works the more you can tense up as an operator all right you guys hitter operators talk to me in the comments down below tell me does that actually happen to you guys because it happens to me all the time
