PARKS/ATHLETIC FIELDS

MEL INGRAM FIELD SYNTHETIC TURF INSTALLATION

• Project Type: High School Athletic Field
• Location: Grants Pass, Oregon
• Project Size: Full Size Football/Soccer Field
• Completed: 2018
• Challenges: Previous turf field had failed drainage system, extremely shallow storm drain connection, confined tie-in grades with existing grandstands, and grading issues affecting soccer play and pedestrian access. Working within existing conditions, we were able to develop a drainage and grading design that allowed for full use of the field during play and allowed storm water to be detained in the rock section before discharging to the City system.
