What happens here
With the base stones in place, the excavator continues to build the wall by selecting and positioning subsequent stone slabs. The hydraulic grapple picks up another large stone and carefully maneuvers it into position, either adjacent to or on top of previously placed stones. The operator focuses on fitting the irregular shapes together, aiming for a tight, interlocking fit that maximizes stability and minimizes gaps. The grapple is used to nudge, rotate, and gently drop the stone until it settles securely. A worker on the ground observes the placement, ensuring proper alignment and fit.
Goal: Build up the wall by stacking and interlocking stones
