Wood/Patel was the engineer of record for the Downtown Phoenix ballpark for the Arizona Diamondbacks major league baseball team. The project consisted of a sub-level field, multi-level seating area, state-of-the-art retractable domed stadium, parking, and plaza area designed to meet ADA standards. Wood/Patel’s services included preparation of onsite demolition, utility abandonment, project specifications, and construction documents. Special to this project were mass excavation, ballfield drainage system, perimeter hardscape improvements, and sub-level drainage pump system. Our efficient design reduced the number of pumps required to pump stormwater into the storm drain system and stadium wash-down water into the sanitary sewer system. While working on this project, Wood/Patel was able to meet an extremely fast-track schedule, requiring detailed, extensive coordination with the owner, architect, mechanical engineer, contractor, landscape architect, and utility companies. Wood/Patel prepared phased construction documents in order to meet this schedule in-turn empowering the project to be bid out in increments.
