Retaining walls- SPOTTING short cuts & BAD work

What happens here

The project begins with an overview of the challenging work site, a sloped area next to a residential property. Heavy machinery, including a Bobcat mini-excavator and a Kubota skid steer, is present, indicating substantial earthwork. The initial phase involves the removal of existing old timbers from the hillside. These timbers often contain hidden metal spikes, which can be dangerous during removal. A worker is shown carefully extracting these timbers.

Goal: Clear existing structures and prepare the area for excavation.
