How NOT to help trees guys. (while building a retaining wall)
What happens here
The unmarked storm sewer pipe encountered earlier is addressed. The crew determines that the 1992-installed pipe was likely a private utility that was never properly marked. Since it runs directly through the path of the retaining wall, the team discusses solutions. They decide to bridge over the pipe with the retaining wall rock and blocks. This demonstrates problem-solving in the face of unexpected underground infrastructure, where adapting the construction plan is necessary to avoid damaging existing utilities.
Goal: Address and integrate the unmarked storm sewer into the retaining wall design.
Tools and materials
- Gravel — Backfill over and around the pipe
- Retaining Wall Blocks — Building the wall structure over the pipe
