How do you maintain quality control of a 16 acre, $3.2 million, sand based sports field complex on a landfill and keep the land developer, the City of Belmont and the project landscape architects (RHAA) on the same page? Callander Associates staff, who had previously successfully managed other complex shoreline projects, was selected by the developer, with the City's concerns to provide this critical level of control to the City's premiere sports facility. The site's history as a landfill atop its Bay mud geological history presented a unique challenge during the construction phase.

Both Callander Associates¹ and the project civil engineering staff, BKF Engineers, closely collaborated with staff, with a variety of sub-consultants, and RHAA to see the project successfully through the construction phase. Sand based athletic fields, light pole foundations, a two story masonry recreation building and a 120’ long prefabricated pedestrian bridge were some of the most interesting elements to be monitored during the process.
