For the 2024 Kaneland High School Track Improvements in Maple Park, Illinois, Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. (GHA) provided design and construction engineering services. The project centered on installing a new synthetic track surface and modernizing the track and field events to enhance functionality. Collaboration with the athletics department ensured the redesigned layouts improved clearances for other athletic teams using the stadium.

Key aspects included site analysis to address grading concerns, drainage enhancements, and improved stormwater connections, including the installation of a rain garden for sustainable stormwater management. GHA maintained an accelerated timeline, coordinating inspections, managing pay applications, and facilitating contractor collaboration to meet the 2024 school year deadline.

The new track surfaces were designed to reduce wear and ensure optimal performance, while grading adjustments enhanced surface drainage. Effective communication with stakeholders and meticulous documentation from initial design to final construction were critical to the project’s success.

These upgrades have transformed Kaneland High School’s track into a modernized facility, supporting the diverse needs of its athletic programs and the broader community.
