This publicly bid renovation of existing sports fields consisted of a large multi-tiered and multiphased project that broke ground in May of 2016 and was completed in the spring of 2017.
The project involved substantial earthwork along with rapid impact compaction. Contaminated soils required a full time LSRP for the construction of a multi-tiered layout to accommodate the upper tier synthetic turf stadium field and lower tier multipurpose synthetic turf field. The facility also required a very detailed and intricate transition utilizing large retaining wall systems, Musco sports lighting and custom aluminum and renovated concrete bleacher systems accompany both fields.
This ground-up construction included 6 tennis courts, an outdoor roller rink, synthetic multipurpose soccer, and lacrosse field, a full-sized synthetic baseball field with a regulation soccer field within the outfield, and a brand new synthetic multipurpose field for football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey, and a 6 lane running track. The scope included new concrete walkways, archways, and a new brick concession stand.
“Every last thing, if there was a question or concern, LandTek addressed it. They take a tremendous amount of pride in what they do. There is no company I’d rather work with than LandTek.” John Dolan: Superintendent of Schools
