Double Terraced Retaining wall crashes down- Last day
What happens here
Gravel is poured into the area behind the retaining wall. A worker uses a shovel and rake to spread the gravel evenly. Due to the proximity to the wall, heavy machinery for compaction is avoided within 3 feet. Compaction is primarily done by hand or by the worker's feet. More gravel is added to ensure proper drainage and stability behind the wall.
Goal: Provide drainage and stability behind the wall
Tools and materials
- Gravel — Backfilling behind the wall for drainage and stability
- Hand Tamper — Manually compacting the gravel near the wall
- Mini Excavator Bobcat 325 — Transporting gravel to the backfill area
- Rakes — Leveling and spreading gravel
- Shovels — Spreading gravel
