Radford University Intramural Field and Indoor Hitting Facility

Radford University obtained ownership of the former 216,000 SF Burlington Industries facility situated on approximately 9 acres located in east Radford (a prime location for expanding the intramural fields). T&L provided Architectural and Engineering services for an overall project consisting of three distinct project components.

Building Demolition

Burlington Industries Facility was demolished to make way for the new playing fields. Most main level concrete floor and existing footings were retained. Existing masonry walls were demolished and crushed to usable rubble for infill at the basement area of the building; and site was prepared for the next project to commence immediately upon completion.
New Intramural Fields and Support Structures
A synthetic multi-purpose system suitable for a variety of intramural sports (primarily soccer and flag football) ;Playing surface is illuminated for night use; and other features include support structure for public restrooms, lighting control, equipment storage, perimeter walkway, plaza areas, fencing, and a stair aid ramp system to connect the parking lots to the field.

New Hitting Facility (aka “Clubhouse”)

Town of Tazewell Route 61

The purpose of the project was to improve safety and storage capacity on State Route 61 – a rural road in mountainous terrain – for approximately 0.93 miles. This was accomplished by:
– Widening the pavement from 20 feet to 36 feet;
– Provide a 12-foot center turn lane; and
– Raising the grade through a low area sag curve to improve sight distance at existing commercial entrances.

The project included redesign of commercial entrances to meet the current VDOT Access Management requirements.

Development of plans for the project included:
– plans for roadway, utility coordination/relocation, stormwater management, drainage, phased erosion & sediment control (ES&C), maintenance of traffic, sequence of construction, stormwater pollution prevention, pavement marking, signage and environmental permitting for the project.

The roadway typical section included:
– Both shoulder and curb and gutter sections. Drainage design included both open and closed storm drain systems. A unique component of the drainage design consisted of ìslip liningî a deficient bridge structure with a large diameter pipe which will help minimize disruptions to traffic during construction.

Other tasks included conducting a public hearing, meeting with property owners that were donating rights-of-way for the project, bidding and advertising and construction administration services.

T&L’s engineering estimate for this project was $3.8 Million, with the low and high bids ranging between $2.7 Million and $4.4 Million, respectively. The low bid of $2.7 Million was awarded by the Town; therefore the project is significantly under budget. This $2.7 Million project was completed in August 2017.
