What happens here

An existing timber retaining wall, previously adjacent to the collapsed section, remains on-site. To integrate it into the new slope design and prevent future exposure, the compact track loader is used to remove the top few courses of the wall. This selective removal ensures that the remaining lower timbers are sufficiently buried by the new slope, eliminating the need for full demolition and reconstruction. The operator skillfully manipulates the loader bucket to carefully dislodge and remove individual timbers.

Goal: Remove the top sections of the old retaining wall so the remainder can be buried and integrated into the new slope.

Tools and materials

  • Loader Bucket CASE — Grasping and lifting timbers
  • Old Retaining Wall Timbers N/A — Debris to be removed from the site
