Daly City Retaining Wall & Drainage | Civil Engineering (In-Progress)

Massoudi Consulting Engineers provided civil engineering services for this project in Daly City. The project involved designing a new retaining wall and an integrated drainage system to address site elevation changes and manage stormwater runoff. The photos highlight key construction phases, including excavation, subgrade preparation, and rebar installation. The system was designed for long-term durability, optimal drainage performance, and full code compliance.
