Re-establish and Final Grade the Plaza Sub-base

see water coming from the drain tile here's a great example there's the drain tile the water's coming through the entire face of the wall if water comes through the drain tile on a retainer ring wall that retaining wall is in a state of failure because the whole wall should allow water to weep through this is a prime example you can see that the water I'll back off you can see that the water is coming through the face of this retaining wall equally that's what you want if the water's funneled through the drain tile well that means that everything else is clogged up in here and the only thing allowing water to pass through is the drain TI the dra to is really engineering companies will tell you this structural companies that know retaining walls will tell you this the drain tile is really for building managers and contractors and customers that don't really know how all the components of a retaining wall go together it makes it's a warm fuzzy it makes them feel good because they believe it should have drain tow when you build them properly you don't need drain tile now you be careful telling your customers that because unless you know retaining walls like the back of your hand I don't want you to get the way my dad used to put it your tit in the ringer that means you get in trouble by misquoting things because it's easy to slap drink Ching it's it's cheap it's inexpensive you see we have it here you know why because it shuts people up oh you didn't put you didn't put drain towel in that retaining wall that's why it's failing that's an easy out that's an easy way for people to get you in trouble so just slap it in just stick it in even though retaining Wells don't need it stick it in and save yourself a lot of problem I it's one of those Quirk for somebody that doesn't know what they're talking about points at anything they possibly can as an excuse or a reason and trust me as contractors you guys are going to see it back to this job big big job complicated job but we are going to break it down make it simple [Music]
