What happens here

After the main trench is excavated, fine-tuning the depth and width is crucial for the retaining wall's stability. Workers use shovels to accurately shape the trench. A level rod and transit (or laser level) are employed to ensure the trench bottom is perfectly level and at the correct elevation, as specified by the project plans. Any remaining concrete or debris is removed to provide a clean and stable foundation.

Goal: Achieve the precise depth and level for the retaining wall's base.

Tools and materials

  • Level Rod — Measuring elevation and checking for levelness
  • Rake — Smoothing out the trench bottom before compaction
  • Shovels Various — Fine grading and shaping of the trench
  • Transit — Establishing precise grades and elevations across the trench length
