Canterbury Park’s one-mile, 14-acre turf track is critical for horse safety and national broadcast presentation. When Kevin Cole stepped into the turf manager role in 2019, he faced the challenge of maintaining a high-performance racing surface without deep turf experience.In addition to the track, another 14 acres required consistent playability, strong root development, and a clean, professional appearance under televised conditions. The need was clear: build a sustainable program backed by trusted expertise.
Nexterra's Approach
Successfully integrating the stormwater system demanded precise attention to site grading, flow management, and construction sequencing. Jen-Hill’s expertise guided the project team through these intricate challenges, ensuring stormwater objectives aligned seamlessly with construction realities. By designing an underground detention and water-quality solution, the team eliminated the need for space-consuming surface basins, unlocking every inch of usable land for leasable office space.
The system efficiently managed stormwater flows, captured sediment and debris, and maintained consistent performance even during heavy rainfall events.
By emphasizing performance, compliance, and long-term maintainability, the solution remained highly functional yet unobtrusive, preserving valuable land for office buildings and amenity areas while meeting strict regulatory and environmental standards.
This approach maximized the development’s revenue potential and demonstrated how expert guidance can turn complex stormwater challenges into practical, high-value solutions.
Outcome
By combining deep technical insight with hands-on project management, the team delivered a solution on time and on budget that maximizes leasable space, maintains long-term operational performance, and turns what could have been a restrictive regulatory challenge into a showcase of efficient, high-performance infrastructure. The project stands as a clear example of how Jen-Hill transforms intricate stormwater demands into resilient, elegant solutions that protect property value and deliver enduring results.
