Conemaugh Township Area School District Track and Field Design-Build | Davidsville, PA

Project Summary

Keystone Sports Construction recently completed a design-build for the track and field at Conemaugh Township High School in Davidsville, Pennsylvania.

The Client

Conemaugh Township Area School District serves communities in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Its educational roots date to 1833, when a log schoolhouse was built in Maple Swamp near Davidsville.

The Challenge

The second phase of the athletic facility design-build required coordinating the conversion of the grass field, reconstruction of the existing track pavement, and construction of track and field event areas.

Construction Process

This design-build project consisted of several steps, starting with the excavation of the original grass field and milling and paving of the pre-existing track. A drainage system and a stone sub-base were then installed and laser-graded before the synthetic turf was installed. Keystone Sports Construction then installed new slit-film synthetic turf to ensure high-quality performance for the athletes. Pole vault, high jump, long jump, shot put, and discus throwing areas were then constructed.

Two-component sandwich-style synthetic running track surfacing was added to the running track, high jump, long jump, and pole vault areas. Keystone also applied new asphalt pavement sealant on the existing paved areas surrounding the field, including the access way from the parking lot to the field.

New chain link fencing was installed around the perimeter of the field, as well as new football field goals in the end zones.
