What happens here

With rain in the forecast, it's essential to secure the construction site. This involves moving all machinery, equipment, and materials to a safe location. The exposed trench and any installed base material are covered with a large tarp, weighted down with some of the remaining retaining wall blocks, to protect them from erosion and water saturation. This proactive step ensures the site is ready for work to resume once the weather improves.

Goal: Protect the construction site from potential damage due to rain.

Tools and materials

  • Mini Excavator Bobcat — Moving heavy materials and compactors
  • Plate Compactor NorthStar — Stowed away for protection
  • Retaining Wall Blocks — Weighting down the tarp
  • Tarp — Covering and protecting the trench and base material
