Dig hole, fill with water.

What happens here

The video opens with a large yellow CAT excavator actively digging a trench, initiating the shape of the swimming pool. The powerful hydraulic arm and bucket scoop large quantities of soil from the ground. The excavator's tracks are positioned on the existing ground level, while its bucket carves into the earth, creating the initial depth and perimeter of the pool basin.

Goal: Begin excavating the swimming pool perimeter.
