Building In Ghana Ep 37 Broken Fence wall Reconstruction Phase 1 Digging

This video is about the reconstruction phases of the damaged fence wall caused by the heavy downpour of rain. We have to reconstruct the retaining wall and the fence due to this destruction. Guys, please do not make the same mistakes we made that led to this destruction.

I had a similar issue. I built a 6 feet deep, 8inch wide retaining wall with a lot of iron rods. Used 42.5r cement with damp chemicals and membrane plastic at the bottom. You have to mix the cement richly when making the wall. The retaining wall has to go 1 to 1.5 feet above ground. For your section of the wall that broke, use quarry strong blocks. (It cost a lot of money, but I have had no issues and have a peace of mind.) Cover the surrounding holes/spaces around the retaining wall right after finish to prevent water build up, and make two small holes for water to pass through.

Yeah, that's what we did. We added water proofing chemical to the cement mixture and also laid some plastic membrane at the base. Thanks so much for your good advice.

Hiring an excavator wouldn't be much faster than having it done manually ?
