Excavation and Initial Geogrid Layering Preparation

What happens here

The excavation process begins, with an excavator removing the loose, failed soil from the slope. The initial plan was to install one foot of geogrid into the hillside for every foot of failure above, layering it in two-foot increments. The excavator works carefully to remove the soil, creating a stable base for the reinforcement. A worker is seen preparing the ground where the geogrid will be laid.

Goal: Excavate the unstable soil and prepare the slope for geogrid installation.
