What happens here

The old retaining walls have been removed, leaving a steep bank. To stabilize this, non-organic structural fill soil with a high clay binder is imported. The ASV RT-75 skid steer is used to push and compact this new soil to form a more stable bank. The operator describes picking material from the top down to achieve precision in shaping the bank. This clay-rich soil allows for better shaping and compaction.

Goal: Create a stable and properly graded bank after retaining wall removal.

Tools and materials

  • ASV RT-75 Posi-Track Skid Steer ASV — Spreading and compacting structural fill
  • Non-organic structural fill soil — Stabilizing and shaping the bank

[Music] [Laughter] we're not done with the demolition on this job though we still have the fenceline from around the pasture that has to be removed sometimes it's easier to bring the truck to the material than the material through the truck this job sites the first time that alex has ever loaded a dump truck with demolition debris so I'm gonna do something that I've done with other people to help them get familiar with the ins and outs of loading trucks hey Alex would you run with John on this load I'd like you to do is um as he's dumping step out get behind the truck and just watch how the load comes out cuz that'll help you from after you see it actually come out it'll be like this weird aha moment where you're like now you kind of start to know how to load a little bit better it's weird but you got to see a load come out and then all of a sudden you're like you just become a better loader watching this load come out it's just so cool
