Final Grading and Backfilling (Day 1)

What happens here

After successfully placing the culvert pipe, the skid steer's grapple attachment is quickly detached, and a Raptor Attachments 4-in-1 Tooth Bucket is installed in its place. The operator then begins the process of backfilling the area around and over the newly installed culvert pipe. This involves pushing and distributing soil and remaining organic material to create a stable, sloped grade that will form the base of the new road. The aim is to fully cover the pipe and establish a solid, drivable surface as the initial stage of the road construction.

Goal: Backfill the culvert and create a rough grade for the road.
