Riverview Baseball Park
City of Coquitlam · Coquitlam, BC · 2025
Our Role
Titrin provided independent agrologist services for the construction of new sports turf at Riverview Baseball Park, collecting and analysing soil and root-zone material and issuing stamped specifications under the seal of a Professional Agrologist. The work gave the City of Coquitlam third-party verification that the imported growing medium met the agronomic standard required for healthy, durable playing fields.
Outcome
The fields were built on a verified root-zone profile, with sampling, analysis, and stamped specifications completed to support the City's construction and grading requirements. The engagement gave the project team documented, science-backed assurance on soil suitability before the turf was established.
Deliverables
- Soil and root-zone sampling from imported growing-medium deliveries
- Laboratory analysis and root-zone characterization (texture, drainage, and agronomic suitability)
- P.Ag.-sealed agronomic specification for the root-zone growing medium (texture, drainage behaviour, agronomic suitability)
- Conformance review of delivered material against the specified root-zone product
- Agrologist services memo supporting the City's construction and grading record
Verified soil for fields that have to perform
A sports field is only as good as the soil beneath it. Sand-based root-zones drain quickly and resist compaction under heavy use, but only if the material delivered to site actually matches the specification on paper. For the construction of new fields at Riverview Baseball Park, the City of Coquitlam engaged Titrin AgriSoil Solutions for independent agrologist services: sampling the imported growing medium, characterising the root-zone in the laboratory, and confirming the delivered product met the specified standard.
Titrin worked with the City’s project team to collect representative samples from the root-zone deliveries, then issued a P.Ag.-sealed agronomic specification covering the material’s texture, drainage behaviour, and agronomic suitability — documentation the City could rely on for its construction and grading record. Field drainage and subgrade or structural design remained the engineer’s scope. For a public asset facing seasons of play, that verification protects both the City’s investment and the people who use the fields.
