Cleburne Sports Complex
Total Project Cost - $8,000,000
Client Reference - Courtney Coates, P.E., City Engineer
Childress Engineers was the Project Engineer / Project Manager / Construction Manager for a 91 acre sports facility that included 20 soccer fields, 7 baseball fields and 2 football fields with concessions, restrooms, parking, and lighting. This project was broken into seven construction contracts. As the lead engineer, we led the design team that consisted of an electrical engineer, a geotechnical engineer, a project architect, a landscape architect, and an irrigation specialist. A center spine entrance road with storm drainage and utilities was designed to bisect the park and provide ingress / egress, and parking away from Highway 4. All of the fields and parking were accessed off of the main entrance road. This eliminated the need for multiple entrances off of the busy state highway.
