About Engineering & Capital Projects

The Engineering & Capital Projects (E&CP) Department's goal is to provide exceptional engineering services throughout the duration of a project, from planning and design through construction for the Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The Department plays an integral role in the development of San Diego’s public infrastructure and facilities with transparency, integrity, efficiency, and a sense of urgency.
