What happens here

Following successful site access, the primary task is excavating the area where the new retaining wall will be built. The excavation creates a multi-level trench, specifically designed for a two-tiered retaining wall structure. The speaker points out the initial lower level of excavation and then indicates where a "set back wall" will be built at a higher level, facilitating a smooth transition from the upper grass area to the existing concrete patio. Two workers are seen using shovels to refine the excavated areas, ensuring precise shaping and leveling.

Goal: Dig the multi-level trench for the retaining wall.

Tools and materials

  • Mini Skid Steer Caterpillar — Bulk excavation of soil
