What happens here
After initial debris clearing, the crew begins preparing the area for the drainage swale. Geotextile fabric is laid over the newly graded area. The fabric is cut to a specific width (5-foot wide from a 6-foot roll) and carefully stapled down, particularly around the drainage pipe's outlet, to prevent bunching and ensure stability. The speaker emphasizes securing the fabric firmly to avoid movement. Following the fabric installation, rip rap stones are brought to the site via the dump truck and are then transported and spread by the mini skid steer. Workers use rakes to evenly distribute the rip rap over the geotextile fabric, creating a functional and stable drainage channel.
