Blue Mountain High School Stadium and Baseball Design-Build | Schuylkill Haven, PA

Project Summary

Keystone Sports Construction recently completed a design-build for Blue Mountain High School Stadium and Baseball Field in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania.

The Client

Blue Mountain High School serves approximately 800 students from grades 9-12, providing a variety of athletic programs.

The Challenge

Equipment needed to reach the stadium field without damaging the existing track. The project used a military-grade bridge to carry equipment over it.

Construction Process

The stadium rebuild project consisted of several phases, starting with removing the grass field within the preexisting track. A military-grade bridge was used to transport equipment over the track to the field without causing any damage to the track. The team removed asphalt from the discus D-area along with the grass field and installed a drainage system. A stone sub-base was installed and laser-graded before the synthetic turf was installed.

Keystone installed synthetic turf with a thatch zone to ensure high-quality performance for Blue Mountain High School athletes. Asphalt paving and sand pit runways were then installed at the opposite ends of the field for long jumping and discus. Keystone Sports Construction then started renovating Blue Mountain High School’s baseball field. After laser grading the base, the infield was replaced with slit film synthetic turf with a thatch zone, and a backstop net was installed.

Additional fencing was placed around the field and stands, and a bullpen pitching mound was supplied. Additionally, Keystone Sports Construction installed the Musco lighting system around the field, providing the perfect lighting for night games.
