Shawsheen Valley Tech Athletic Complex
Diamond Pro® & London Cobble™ Prove to Be Winning Team for Shawsheen Valley Tech Athletic Complex.
Every Project Starts with a Purpose
In mid-2016, Shawsheen Valley Regional Vocation Technical High School in Billerica, Massachusetts, began plans for new additions to its athletic facilities. The cornerstone of the project would be a new football field with track and field facility, complete with artificial turf, new bleachers and lights.
The plans also included the construction of five new tennis courts next to a lighted artificial turf baseball facility with enough space in the outfield for a multipurpose rectangular field for soccer and lacrosse. The areas between the baseball and football field was multi-leveled and the architectural design called for a 10’ x 10’- switchback ramp to connect the two levels.
The Solution
Solving for Style, Function, and Durability
Belgard® Commercial not only offered two high-quality products to meet the needs of Shippe Engineering and Shawsheen Valley Technical High School, but the company lent its in-depth experience to the complex project. Diamond Pro® Wall was specified for the segmental retaining wall (SRW) portion of the project, while London Cobble™ was chosen for the ramps.
The sturdy SRW is a larger sized unit, which is an ideal choice for projects of this scope. London Cobble was installed as a permeable paver system to help manage water runoff from the field above, designed to drain water though the paving system into the ground below.

The Result
A Lasting Impression:
The Final Transformation
The $7 million project was completed within a six-month timeframe. Coordinating lighting, fencing, railings and ramps alongside the retaining wall and paver installation added complexity to the process.
Through close collaboration with the engineer, general contractor and installer, the Belgard® Commercial team helped keep the project on track. The result was an on-time installation that functions exactly as intended.
