Everything You Need To Know Before Building a Retaining Wall
What happens here
After the initial excavation and stump removal, the crew begins transporting the retaining blocks to the job site. The retaining blocks, identified as GeoWall, are delivered on flatbed trailers. A Caterpillar 259D3 compact track loader equipped with pallet forks is used to unload the pallets of blocks from the trailer and move them to a staging area closer to the construction site. The sheer volume of material is emphasized: 30 pallets, weighing 50 tons, or about 100,000 pounds, highlighting the massive scale of the project.
Goal: Transport and stage the retaining wall blocks near the construction area.
