Tough, Tight site

What happens here

To expedite the backfilling of the large washout, a Cat skid-steer loader is brought in. It strategically places piles of soil near the washout, making it easier for the mini-excavator to reach and grab the material. This collaborative approach efficiently fills the deep hole, minimizing spill and ensuring the fabric remains properly covered. Hand tamping is used for final compaction in hard-to-reach areas.

Goal: Efficiently backfill the large washout area.

Tools and materials

  • Bobcat Mini-Excavator — Scooping and placing soil into the washout
  • Cat Skid-Steer Loader Caterpillar — Transporting and strategically placing soil
  • Hand Tamper — Compacting soil in tight spots
  • Soil On-site material — Filling the washout
