Lowry Engineering worked together with EAPC on the design of a new indoor baseball training facility in South Elmwood Park, just North of Young Field, in West Fargo.
Our scope of work included site layout, as well as grading and utility planning. This facility will have a 25,000 square foot indoor turf baseball field, as well as 4 batting cages and locker rooms.
There were some challenges along the way. Due to the proximity to the Sheyenne River, this site had very limited space. The existing infrastructure needed to remain intact as well.
Another challenge was connecting to the existing sanitary sewer, as this required a pump station, and coring the sanitary pipe between two existing buildings. During our design, it was determined that the existing sanitary pipe was not in suitable condition and needed to be replaced.
We were successful in meeting these challenges head on, while minimizing any potential impacts to the trees, sidewalks and fencing in the park.
Scheels and West Fargo Baseball joined forces to provide the youth and athletes of our community with this indoor training facility.
Construction began this summer, with final completion scheduled for spring of 2025.
