Finally dry enough to reach my spot overlooking the wall construction. The wall crew has spread 8 mats in the curved corner, Baker crew have 1 spread on the next level up and are using regular rock fill on the level above that.

Rather than use zip ties to hold the mats together, the wall crew just sprinkle small aggregate from the bobcat bucket as it backs up.

Lots of repetitious layers for several days, so I stopped in the breakdown lane for some progress shots from a different angle.

Not nearly such tight quarters down there now...trucks can maneuver easily...but they have to remember to use the CB both ways on that hill.

Though the picture doesn't show it very well, this is sad...ALL the block and fill has to be removed and done over due to a mistake at the very beginning of wall construction.

Rather than the open weave fabric used at the beginning, this is the solid fabric to be used as 'impervious to soil migration'.

The crews have been doing a number of field trials on compaction for a re-design of the wall construction, and while waiting for those decisions have moved back to the area behind the Honda shop.

The perimeter of the western Detention Pond has been shaped and top soil is being placed.

Sorry. Not sure if I asked before and can't find it now if I did.

Mistakes happen but did we find out why they had to redo some stuff?

When it's time to dig trenches for storm drains, sometimes it's good to have Austin Powder on site!
