What happens here

Begin backfilling the excavated trench using sand. Spread the sand in layers, ensuring even distribution around the newly installed foundation wall. Use a plate compactor to thoroughly compact each layer of sand, eliminating voids and preventing settling. This process helps to firmly support the new wall and restores the ground stability. Once backfilling is complete, the site can be prepared for any final grading or surface restoration (e.g., concrete slab replacement).

Goal: Restore the ground around the foundation and ensure stability.
