University of Kansas - Memorial Stadium

D.A. Hogan & Associates was the field consultant for the renovation of the synthetic turf field at Memorial Stadium for the University of Kansas.

The project scope included removal of the existing synthetic turf surface and underlying asphalt base and replacement with a new turf system over a porous base and drainage system. This eliminated the existing crown resulting in a flatter field surface while significantly improving the drainage system for the field. The porous base included a subsurface drainage system with perforated piping, a washwater irrigation system, and permeable aggregate base materials.

The project also included renovation of the perimeter field areas and installation of synthetic turf and supplemental padding over existing asphalt. The project utilized the existing storm drainage system to service the field runoff.
