Specializes in Hillside grading for single family residential throughout Los Angeles.
C-Sheets
A Civil Engineering plan (designated as “C” Sheets) shall be required for all new development constructing improvements within the public right-of-way. “C” Sheets shall be submitted separately from the Building Permit plan set for review by the Department of Public Works, concurrently with Building Department review.
EROSION CONTROL PLANS
Wet Weather Erosion Control Plans show the minimization of the areas of disturbed soils and the duration of exposure during construction. This assures grading work on private or public projects does not result in soils or other material being washed from the construction site onto other properties or into water courses.
EXCAVATION PLANS
Excavation Plans show limits of the excavation (cut slopes, shoring, or a combination of both), adjacent streets and/or alleys with dimensions, and cross sections at various locations to show excavation details.
GRADING PLANS
Grading Plans should detail property lines up to the street’s centerline, all structures with full dimensions, topography of both private lots and public spaces, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, ramps, pavement edges, parkways, driveways, and storm drain features such as outlets, basins, on-site and off-site drainage, including roof drains and flow direction.
LID – LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT
LID is a stormwater management strategy that seeks to mitigate the impacts of increases in runoff and stormwater pollution as close to the source as possible. The use of natural systems such as infiltration, evapotranspiration, and use of stormwater are promoted by a set of design approaches and Best Management Practices (BMPs).
RETAINING
WALL PLANS
Structural Engineering is a specialty within the Civil Engineering field that analyzes and designs a structure such as a building, foundation plans or retaining wall plans. Safety is important as these structures are often subjected to extreme forces such as temperature, weather, dynamic loads, and earthquakes.
SUMP PUMP DESIGN
AND CALCULATIONS
Excavation Plans show limits of the excavation (cut slopes, shoring, or a combination of both), adjacent streets and/or alleys with dimensions, and cross sections at various locations to show excavation details.
SUSMP – STANDARD URBAN STORMWATER MITIGATION PLANS
SUSMP, or Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan, was developed to address stormwater pollution from new developments and redevelopment projects.
