PROJECT DETAILS
Extensive site coordination because the parking structure was carved into the hillside to allow the top level to be at grade on the east side while the bottom level is at grade on the west side.
Massive excavation and large foundations and retaining walls were required due to poor existing soil conditions.
Astute planning enabled relocation of existing site utilities.
