What happens here
Once the wall block is at the correct height, the ground crew, using non-marring tools like rubber mallets or crowbars, meticulously guides the block into its precise final resting place. They ensure the block is level, plumb, and perfectly aligned with any adjacent blocks, creating tight joints. The excavator operator holds the block steadily until the ground crew gives the all-clear, confirming proper alignment and seating. Only then is the hydraulic clamp released, securely placing the block onto the foundation or the previous course of blocks. The excavator then retracts its arm, leaving the block in position.
Goal: Accurately set and release the wall block into its final position.
