What happens here

Following the primary excavation by the mini skid steer, a team member uses a shovel to manually refine the trenches. This involves carefully cleaning the edges, squaring off corners, and ensuring the bottom of the trench is level and at the precise depth required for the wall's foundation. This detailed manual work ensures the foundation will be structurally sound and meet specifications.

Goal: Clean and refine excavated trenches to precise specifications for foundation installation.
