The old one was dilapidated and honestly not really put together that well..
What happens here
The old retaining wall has been "fully excavated." Workers are shown in the trench, manually digging and clearing material, which is described as "tough clay." A John Deere skid steer is used to move the excavated material away from the work area. The trench is being prepared for a new Unilock Old Quarry wall, with the intention to incorporate geogrid to ensure the new wall's long-term stability and prevent future failures.
Goal: Create a properly excavated and prepared trench for the new retaining wall.
Tools and materials
- Shovel — Manual excavation and clearing of the trench, Skid Steer John Deere
- Geogrid — Reinforcing the soil behind the retaining wall to improve stability and prevent future failures
