Backfilling and Compaction

What happens here

As the retaining wall is built up, the space behind the blocks is progressively backfilled with compacted soil. This provides additional stability to the wall and ensures proper drainage. A skid steer is used to dump soil into the backfill area, and workers use shovels to spread it evenly. A vibratory plate compactor is then used to compact the soil in layers, preventing future settlement and ensuring the wall's long-term integrity. The process is repeated until the wall reaches its desired height and the backfill is flush with the surrounding grade.

Goal: Secure the retaining wall by backfilling and compacting the area behind it.
