Caught in a Jam! Job site crisis

What happens here

Over the next days, the crew systematically lays additional courses of retaining wall blocks, stacking them in an interlocking pattern. As the wall grows taller, the space behind it is progressively backfilled with soil and compacted to ensure stability. This process involves using the skid steer (ASV VT-70) to dump soil and then shoveling and raking it into place, followed by compaction using a plate compactor (Wacker Neuson).

Goal: Construct the full height of the retaining wall and stabilize it with compacted backfill.

Tools and materials

  • Level — Checking block levelness, Masonry Saw Unknown
  • Soil Excavated soil — Backfilling behind the retaining wall
