Not able to use a wall anchor in this section

At the edges of the picture you can see a couple of the wall anchors that are being installed. The section in between them is too large to be left without support. The reason that another wall anchor couldn't be used was that there is an underground obstruction just outside the basement wall. If the crew tried to drive a rod through to the earth anchor, they would've broken a septic tank. In this case, a power brace is a great alternative.
