What happens here
The initial step involves preparing the ground and carefully laying down rolls of black geotextile fabric. Two workers are seen unrolling and positioning this "paper thin" fabric along the bank of a watery channel. The fabric is strategically overlapped to ensure continuous coverage and separation between the underlying soil and the materials that will be placed on top. An excavator is present in the background, indicating that significant earthwork and material handling are part of this larger project.
Goal: Create a stable and separated base for rock placement.
