Installing the Footing for a Concrete Retaining Wall

In this video, we’re getting things started by installing the footing for a 130-foot-long, 5-foot-high concrete retaining wall. The first step? Establishing a solid reference point to ensure everything is lined up perfectly. Once we’ve double-checked it, it’s all about getting the footing framed and ready.

Key details from the video:

The footing is approximately 4.5 feet wide and 18 inches thick, with a keyway that is 3 feet deep and 1 foot wide.

Why it’s essential to use the right-sized bucket for excavation (things don’t always go as planned, but we adjust!).

We frame the front of the footing to minimize waste and obtain the exact measurement for the wall's face.

Stick around to the end of the video to see how the footing and rebar are set up before the concrete pour. Don’t forget to like, drop a comment, and subscribe for updates on the next part of this project.
