What happens here

With the large debris cleared, the excavator is now equipped with a vibratory plate compactor attachment. The operator meticulously spreads a thin, even layer of clean dirt across the base of the pool excavation. The narrator explains that proper compaction requires spreading the material in thin lifts, not thick ones, to achieve optimal density.

Goal: Lay the initial layer of suitable backfill material.

Tools and materials

  • Excavator Daewoo 75V — Spreading dirt and operating the compactor
  • Skid Steer ASV RT-75 — Bringing in additional fill material
