What happens here
The crew prepares the trench for the new retaining wall by laying down gravel. First, the team uses shovels to spread a layer of gravel evenly along the bottom of the excavated trench. A plate compactor is then used to compact the gravel base, ensuring a stable and level foundation for the retaining wall. This is a critical step for the structural integrity and longevity of the wall.
Goal: Create a stable and compacted gravel base for the retaining wall.
