Bethlehem Christian Academy

Bethlehem, GA

Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with Bethlehem Christian Academy, a private school in Bethlehem, GA, to upgrade its primary athletic field. The project focused on replacing an aging natural grass surface with a high-performance synthetic turf football field engineered for safety, durability, and consistent year-round play. The new system provides a reliable surface for practices, games, and multi-sport use while significantly reducing maintenance demands.

This improvement enhances the school’s athletic infrastructure with modern sports construction standards, advanced grading and drainage solutions, and a resilient turf system designed to withstand heavy use by student-athletes.

Project Goals

  • Replace the natural grass field with a durable, low-maintenance synthetic surface
  • Improve field drainage to reduce downtime after rain
  • Provide consistent footing and safer play conditions for athletes
  • Create a year-round practice and game-ready surface
  • Modernize the athletic complex to support expanding school programs

Our Scope of Work

Site Design & Engineering

The project began with detailed site planning aimed at transforming the existing grass field into a synthetic turf system. Our team evaluated existing field elevations, designed improved stormwater management pathways, and engineered a stable foundation to support long-term performance. The design ensured proper field slope for drainage and seamless integration with surrounding infrastructure.

Site Construction

Our construction team removed the natural grass surface and prepared the site for the new field system. This phase included:

  • Precision grading to establish correct field elevations
  • Installation of a compacted aggregate base engineered for drainage
  • Construction of perimeter and underfield drainage components
  • Preparation of a stable sub-base optimized for synthetic turf

Each step followed best practices in athletic facility construction, ensuring structural integrity and reliable field performance.

Synthetic Turf Installation

The new turf field was built using a modern synthetic turf installation system designed for high-intensity school athletics. Key features included:

  • A high-quality monofilament turf surface for consistent play
  • Performance infill engineered for shock absorption and traction
  • Seam and line installation tailored to football field standards
  • A drainage-optimized base allowing rapid water removal

The result is a safe, durable field that maintains uniform performance regardless of weather conditions.

Project Highlights

  • Replaced a worn natural grass field with a modern synthetic turf system
  • Significantly improved drainage and reduced weather-related closures
  • Enhanced player safety through better traction and impact performance
  • Delivered a low-maintenance surface ideal for heavy school athletic use
  • Enabled year-round training, practices, and competitive play
  • Created a more dependable and visually upgraded athletic facility

Results

The completed synthetic turf field provides Bethlehem Christian Academy with a dependable and high-performance surface that supports football practices, games, and broader athletic activities. The improved drainage greatly reduces downtime after rain, while the turf system’s durability ensures long-term value and minimal upkeep.

For student-athletes and coaches, the new field delivers consistent footing, improved safety, and a year-round training environment that was difficult to achieve with the former natural grass surface. The project has strengthened the school’s athletic program by providing a facility that meets modern performance and reliability standards.
