Patient Details
An engineered retaining wall construction project was completed in La Crescenta-Montrose to replace 66 feet of a failing retaining wall along the western perimeter. The scope of work included excavating and pouring a new continuous retaining wall foundation utilizing an inverted conventional spread footing that is 24 inches deep and 36 inches wide, using 4,000 PSI concrete. A cinder block (CMU) wall was constructed to a maximum height of 5 feet 5 inches, featuring solid grout-filled hollow cores using 1,500 PSI concrete, heavy-duty rebar reinforcement, and a CMU cap. Additionally, the retaining wall was waterproofed per the engineered plan, and a 4-inch sub-drain line wrapped in a gravel pocket was installed to release hydrostatic pressure. The project concluded with complete soil backfill and compaction.
