How NOT to build a Retaining wall
What happens here
The project begins with an overview of the construction site, where work is already underway on replacing a retaining wall at a school. This initial segment shows heavy machinery, including a Kubota R30 loader and a skid steer, operating near a partially constructed wall section. The ground has been excavated, and a base layer for the wall appears to be in place, with some sections of the wall already constructed. Workers are seen compacting the base material with vibratory plate compactors.
Goal: Introduce the retaining wall replacement project and current site conditions.
Tools and materials
- Kubota R30 Loader Kubota — Moving materials and operating on site
