This drawing, C6.2, includes the civil site details. Let's look at some of the sections. So let's zoom into this area.

This is Section A.A. You can see the curb here. This is concrete, and this is earth.

This is a typical symbol for earth. We have a structure here and an RCP here. This is again a control structure.

You can see the spot elevations here. This is a schematic diagram of the building. You can see the footings and the wall, labeled as the proposed parking garage.

If we look at Section B.B., you can see the street, the curb, the concrete wall, the garden, and 'PL' for property line. This is the retention vault with the ramp above it, the proposed garage here, along with spot elevations, dimensions, and notes.

Section C.C. shows the existing grade, property line, a swale, and the wall itself.

Section D.D. shows the parking garage, a swale with an inlet elevation for water collection, the sidewalk, curb, street, and another interior swale. We have the wall, concrete, and spot elevations.

Section F.F. again shows the schematic representation of the building with the concrete walk outside, the drive, and the finished floor elevation inside.

Here we have a drive, the building, gardening work outside, and the property line. It connects to the existing grade level.

Looking at the other details, there are comments about pavement cuts, excavation, and restoration. These are in conformance with the city's requirements for pavement cuts.

Here is an axonometric view of the control structure and an underground drain detail. This is interesting information, and I hope you're enjoying studying this page.

I’ll talk to you soon.
