Virginia Department of Corrections Greensville Prison Upgrades

T&L, in association with R&S Corporation, was selected by the Virginia Department of Corrections (VDOC) to provide Designer Led-Design Build services for the design and construction of a new and complete $14.7 Million upgrade to the security and building systems at the Greensville Correctional Center (GCC).

This work was completed within the secure operating environment of a fully functioning correctional center, and required check-in/check-out of all tools, materials, equipment and personnel, as well as security escorts for all work crews. Construction team members on this project included T&L, R&S Corporation and JCI/Madel Enterprises.

The basic components of the project involved:

• Security electronics control system improvements for the Administration Building, ten housing units, three program support buildings, the medical services building and the L building;
• Fire Alarm System replacements with new intelligent addressable Fire Alarm Control Panels for all buildings (including the towers); and
• Significant Detention equipment upgrades throughout the facility.

City of Radford High School Baseball Field

T&L provided Designer-Led, Design-Build services to the Radford High School Foundation for a multi-phased development of a new Municipal Baseball Facility in Radford, VA.
 
The undeveloped 5.8-acre parcel was a former landfill site owned by the city of Radford. Planning was to allow for a multi-phased undertaking as funds became available. To date, Phases 1A and 1B have been completed in 2007 and 2008 respectively. An additional infield drainage system was added in 2011. Phase 2 is for installation of a lighting system for night competitions and Phase 3 will include formal concessions, ticket booth, press box and permanent seating.
 
Facility highlights include:

• 90’ diamond with grass infield designed to major league dimensions with 330’ down the lines and 400’ at centerfield;
• Complete with concrete dugouts, restrooms, and spectator seating platform with metal bleachers; and
• Automatic field irrigation system, bullpens, batting cage, and digital scoreboard.

The facility is considered to be one of the finest high school fields in the state.
 
The facility serves as the home field for the Radford High School Bobcat Varsity and Junior Varsity teams, and local youth-league teams.  The Radford Municipal Baseball Field has also been host to college club baseball, serving Radford University, Virginia Tech and New River Community College. In addition, the field has been chosen to host showcase tournaments, attracting teams from North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and beyond.
