Pre-excavation and Planning for New Foundation

What happens here

After the old blocks are removed, the next crucial step is to excavate the soil behind the former wall line. The narrator indicates that a significant amount of soil will be removed, as illustrated by an engineering blueprint shown in the video. This excavation is necessary to create a proper foundation and allow for correct backfill, ensuring the stability and longevity of the new retaining wall. The blueprint specifies details like drainage pipes, geotextile fabric, and aggregate base layers, which will be installed in the excavated area.

Goal: Prepare the area for the new retaining wall foundation through excavation and detailed planning.
