What happens here

Following the interior inspection, the crew discusses the repair strategy, emphasizing the need to push the wall back into place and then permanently anchor it. They consider using 'deadmen' anchors, which are buried objects (like timbers or concrete blocks) tied to the wall with cables to resist external pressure. They specifically plan to thread cables through core-filled sections of the concrete blocks, tie them to the deadmen, and use turnbuckles for tensioning. This conversation helps finalize the approach for stabilizing the compromised wall.

Goal: Plan the method for stabilizing the bowed wall using deadmen anchors and turnbuckles.

Tools and materials

Cables — Connecting the wall to the deadmen anchors
Deadmen — Anchoring system to hold the wall in place
Turnbuckles — Adjusting the tension of the cables for precise wall stabilization

opinion you know none of the block I broke but any give you a one-day deal okay I'd say two to three days pushed in I mean it's like it's gonna keep continuing we might not put like a dead man you know on a couple of dead many and when we backfill it you know tie it to the block and then dead bare something back to anchor back because once you push it back it's still gonna want to float you know great you know so if we tie it back then that way it won't have the intendancy to come forward again no we can put the top learn no no I know you know once we get it dug out how are we gonna push it back from the inside if we can get the machinery maybe okay okay if we can get it in here it should fit on you think it's yeah okay yeah so it'll be close all right yeah we'll do what we can do well good you will did will work more guy with the ground
