Project Details

Project Description

FTE design team members were responsible for the preparation of the full set of playing field (Pitch) construction documents which included the following plan preparation: layout dimension and material plan, surface grading plan, underdrain collection system, irrigation system, and playing field recovery time calculations, associated construction details and complete written specification in accordance MLS and FIFA standards.

The park hit some minor stumbling blocks even before the first shovel hit dirt: the original designs needed to be revised when it was revealed that the playing field was below the water table, and the environmental impact report revealed that the site had pockets of petroleum that needed to be treated. The issues had been addressed in the final construction plans and specifications.

The stadium playing field was been designed to meet the U.S.G.A. and ASTM high performance sand based rootzone guidelines. The sub-surface underdrain collection system will allow for the playing fields to recover quickly after receiving frequent local historical rain fall intensities.

FTE design team members also provided QA/QC shop drawing review and approval of all the necessary materials and soil testing data to insure this high performance playing field (Pitch) was constructed in accordance with the approved project construction documents and specifications.
