Large Retaining Wall Construction - Timelapse

- On this 800Sq/Ft engineered retaining wall project in Haverhill Massachusetts, Anchor Diamond Pro wall block, purchased from Genest Concrete was selected. A no fines concrete mix of 7:1, 3/4" stone to cement, was installed as the infill material to allow for wall stabilization and 100% drainage permeability. The mix was supplied by Kingston RedTMix of Methuen Massachusetts. After installing the Torpedo block base row, and 1 row of wall block by hand, the remaining 700Sq/Ft of wall block was installed by 4 employees using the PaveTool Quick-e-Clamp in less than 8 hours with no employee ever lifting a block. About 40,000 photos make up this timelapse.

Awesome production value hope to see more time lapses on your channel
Good job, that really make the parking lot look modern and professional.
Thanks!
Awesome video!
great video. great job.. great description... just great !
Thanks!
nice video Dirt Ninja
Nice camera work and a nice job !
Nice work.
wow very good video friend ;D
what are you grabbing the blocks with?? thats slick
Hello, dirt ninja in your opinion which is better than 305 or kubota kx55?
Nice vid, definitely some effort in this one
Thanks!
That was bad ass
The Dirt GOD.
I saw in the comments it was a 50k job. Was done in 4 days correct? i assume just the blocks alone were costly. How much roughly is the machine labour? 32 hrs for the shovel and 32 hrs for the skid plus dump truck?
great Job
What's the model and weight on the Mini X?
UK here. Looks a top job but out of curiosity, how come you don't have a concrete foundation and lay the blocks dry without mortar? Different regulations everywhere i suppose 😉👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻
My mixer is in the video!!
the music score who did the music mix?i like this
Wow... Just "wow!" :-)
Awesome
I love the way you work my Forman is a idiot
If you have specific questions on design, backfill material specifications, etc. you can check out the "Anchorplex" tab at the Anchor Retaining Wall Systems website.
Is that just 3/4" gravel as backfill? Do you worry about compaction and shifting of the gravel? I was under the impression that something like Item 4 would be used in a scenario like this.
Its no fines concrete. Read the description.
No concrete in the foundation and no rebar..?
That looks like Washington street in downtown Haverhill ma
I liked that
Excavator arm is settling after 2:53.
your video is epic
Great video... this is Anchor Wall Diamond Pro "Anchorplex" wall (not vertica)
Thanks for the correction!
Do they charge for that parking? I'd guess that new lot would make close to $1000 per day, based on rates I paid in Seattle for similar parking.
No it was for the business we did the work for.
What was the price per sq ft for that jod, or the total? If you don't mind me asking. I am just getting started in hardscapes.
Linear footage. Its a wall build. Cost was $50k.
how do you get your gopro battery to last 8 hrs?
external power source?
Battery backpack accessory.
I noticed that when your digger was left stationary the arm gradually began to creep downwards, is that normal?
Yes it is. All hydraulics creep. Remember this is a 4 day job shown in 4min. So you would never notice the creep in "real time" because it is so slow.
I thought so, thanks for clearing it up :)
I've never seen a cement truck like that
Do you guys do your own design on a project like this or is it designed by an engineer and you just build it to spec? mainly curious about the lack of room for the use of geogrid. I guess it may not be needed with the existing wall. I noticed the cement truck back filling as well. wasn't sure how that would affect the drainage/hydraulic pressure behind the wall. you guys definitely do great work. I love the hardscape time lapse vids.
Thanks for the compliment. Read the description :)
d'oh! my bad. it's all there :)
Ya'll covered up all of that beautiful stone with ugly block... What a sad day.
Why is the remains of the original wall not removed, just covered up by the new wall ? Is this common
No this is not common. The original wall is literally holding up the street. If we took the old wall down it would have been a much much larger and expensive project. This new wall was engineered with keeping the old wall in place.
Thanks!
I watched at 1/4 speed to keep an Eye on you, plus I read the Description.
Other than your Dad, are there any other family on this job ?
No just the 2 of us.
*you're not worried about the old wall behind it collapsing and messing up your new wall? Looked like there was drainage pipe for water going through the old wall spilling onto the parking area.!*
LandMaster, they poured yards and yards of concrete between the new and old wall. Also filled each block with concrete but I didn’t see any rebar.
Was rebar pinning used inside the blocks too?
No it was not. The cores of the block were filled with the permeable concrete.
How does the wall resist earth pressure, what interlocks the blocks? Or put another way, how does the concrete infill lock the blocks together, as concrete isn't as strong in shear or tension?
Gravity interlocks the blocks just like in every other wall we do. Each block weighs 75lbs. There is a rear lip on the block that helps but it is really on there for alignment of the block. The only thing we did differently than a normal wall was use the permeable concrete instead of stone for more wall strength.
whats up with the two gaps in the wall?
They are drain outlets for the drainage pipe we installed behind the wall.
Dirt Ninja gotcha!
what is the concrete truck for??
Read the description... It was used as the infill material for the wall. Its a permeable concrete.
Dirt Ninja the one time I don't read the description!!!
haha, no worries!
How long did this project take?
4 months
It looked way better before...
A concrete formed retaining wall would have been massively cheaper...done the same job and in a fraction of the time..
Yea I'm seconding Earl, this is completely wrong. Concrete, especially formed concrete, is categorically one of the most expensive aspects of construction. Thats why they make these blocks, for applications like this. Cheaper, faster, and usually stronger as well.
lol i do the dirt ninja
