The TRACK at New Balance
Scope/Solutions
The TRACK at new balance, part of the Boston Landing development in Brighton, is a multi-sport venue with a 200 m hydraulically banked indoor track and a ground-level concert venue. SGH consulted on the roofing and waterproofing design for the project.
SGH consulted on the design of below-grade and plaza waterproofing, standing seam wall assemblies, and low-slope membrane roofing. Highlights of our work include:
- Reviewing the proposed roofing and waterproofing design and recommending system types, finishes, and materials
- Consulting on the hot-applied rubberized asphalt terrace at the monumental stairs and terrace connecting to the track interior
- Assisting with the design of roofing assemblies, including:
- Low-slope roofing details with varying conditions, including the high roof with three built-in gutters
- Locations where the high roof transitions to a vertical, standing seam metal assembly designed with several lines of falling snow protection
- A 72,000 sq ft photovoltatic panel assembly installed on the high roof
- Providing construction phase services, including reviewing related submittals, visiting the site to observe installation of the roofing and waterproofing systems, and helping the project team address field conditions
