| PROJECT DESCRIPTION | ||||||||||
| The state-of-the-art, 43,000-seat Phillies Ballpark will unquestionably be the complete baseball and entertainment experience. The new park will have a panoramic skyline of historic Philadelphia and hold a dirt playing field with true grass. The venue sits on a 21-acre site in South Philadelphia, located on the north side of Pattison Avenue, between 11th and Darien Streets. Targeted to open its doors in April, 2004, many contractors, such as A.P. Construction, Inc., have been working diligently to meet the deadline. A.P. Construction, Inc., in association with Cruz, LLC, was selected to relocate 10th Street's utilities in anticipation of bulk excavation required for the new stadium. Work included 2,900 linear feet of 30" to 72" diameter storm sewer relocation mains, on timber piles, with a concrete reinforced cap (20' deep) and the installation of 4,300 linear feet of 16" water mains. The open-air atmosphere ballpark joins Philadelphia's rich tradition of sports architecture and will be an exhilarating destination for all sports fans. |
