What happens here
The video begins by showing a failed retaining wall that has visibly opened up and shifted. The first point of failure identified is the improper material used for the wall's base. Instead of appropriate foundational material, the wall was constructed directly on 'screenings', which is highlighted as the wrong choice.
Goal: Identify incorrect foundational material of the retaining wall.
Tools and materials
- Eyes N/A — Visual inspection of the retaining wall and its components
- Hands N/A — Pointing out specific areas of failure on the wall
