What happens here
The video begins with an excavator, a Daewoo SOLAR 75V, equipped with a CMP Attachments hydraulic thumb, carefully placing large rocks to form the base of a sloped retaining wall. A worker assists the excavator operator by guiding the rock placement for optimal fit and stability. Adjacent soil is then compacted manually using a Wacker Neuson BS50-4 jumping jack compactor to create a solid foundation for the subsequent layers of the wall and surrounding landscape.
Goal: Create a stable and secure base for the sloped rock retaining wall.
