Terracon completed subsurface investigations and provided design criteria in
connection with the Worcester Polytechnic Institute Alumni Field Renovation
project in Worcester, Massachusetts. The project consisted of constructing new
monopole-type light poles, a new structural bleacher system, and replacing the
existing turf field with a new synthetic turf system.
Site concerns included existing fill and relatively shallow bedrock. Design rec-
ommendations included bearing capacity and settlement estimates for the struc-
tural bleacher system; and drilled pier design parameters for light tower design.
