Dartmouth College Baseball Field
Hanover, New Hampshire
Terracon completed subsurface investigations, design criteria, and infiltration
testing in connection with the design and construction of the baseball stadium at
Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The project consisted of con-
structing a synthetic turf field with a grandstand and press box.
Site concerns included existing fill overlying glaciolacustrine deposits of silt and
clay to depths of over 80 feet, and groundwater at depths of 5 feet, and under-
ground steam pipes and other utilities in close proximity to the proposed struc-
tures. Design recommendations included spread footing foundations, drilled
pier foundations, and athletic field under drains due to the low permeability of
the underlying clayey soil.
