What happens here
Determine the age of the retaining wall's construction. The speaker in the video notes that this particular wall was "only built at the beginning of this year," failing after just five months. This short timeframe immediately suggests that the failure is due to fundamental construction flaws rather than natural aging or erosion.
Goal: Establish the timeframe of the retaining wall's construction to contextualize its failure.
