Compacting First Backfill Layer

What happens here

The operator drives the excavator over the freshly spread dirt layer, repeatedly pressing the vibratory plate compactor into the ground. A skid steer continues to deliver fresh soil to the edge of the excavation. The narrator cautions against excessive force during compaction, specifically mentioning the risk of damaging the excavator's hydraulic seals, emphasizing that proper compaction is achieved through even passes rather than brute force.

Goal: Achieve optimal compaction of the initial backfill layer.
