Everything You Need To Know Before Building a Retaining Wall
What happens here
Using a CAT mini excavator, the crew performs extensive earthmoving to create the two-tier structure for the retaining wall. This involves digging deep trenches and shaping the hillside to accommodate the 12-foot tall wall. The excavation is done carefully, following marked lines and levels to ensure the correct dimensions and stability of the future wall.
Goal: Excavate and grade the hillside to create two tiers for the retaining wall.
Tools and materials
- Laser Level — Maintaining consistent elevation and slope throughout the excavation
- Measuring Pole — Verifying excavation depths and ensuring accurate grading
