Backfill, Compact, and Finish Wall

What happens here

Once the base layers of the retaining wall are complete and approved by the inspector, begin the process of backfilling and compacting the material behind the installed blocks. Use gravel as the primary backfill material, carefully placing it in lifts (layers) behind the wall. After each lift of gravel, use a plate compactor to thoroughly compact the material, ensuring maximum density and stability. Repeat this process, laying geogrid at specified intervals between block courses, until the wall reaches its desired height. The excavator can assist in placing large quantities of gravel, while smaller compactors are used for detailed work. Finally, sweep excess gravel and debris from the wall's surface.

Goal: Complete the retaining wall construction by backfilling, compacting, and ensuring structural stability.
