The cut construction method for earth retaining system is described as when walls are constructed from the top down to the base (top-down construction), concurrent with excavation operations. Fill construction refers to a method used to construct a wall from the base to the top (bottom-up construction). The "cut" and "fill" designations refer to the manner by which the wall is constructed, not the nature of the earthwork performed during the construction process.
