Hummel & Co. offers testing and consulting services on hundreds of projects every year. Here are a few that we are especially proud of.
Scioto Country Club, Columbus OH
Hummel & Co. Inc was asked by Scioto Country Club to develop a mix that would have the agronomic characteristics of a well built sand-based green, but would provide a firm playing surface. Working closely with the root zone mix supplier, Kurtz Bros., and Profile products, we developed a mix composed of soil and Profile Porous Ceramics that provided the club with such a mix.
Since the completion of Scioto Country Club, Hummel & Co. Inc has also worked with other clubs reconstructing greens that had the same design intent, including Congressional Country Club, Saucon Valley Country Club, Hazeltine Golf Club, and Edina Country Club. Different approaches to the Scioto Country Club mix were taken to develop firm mixes for these projects.
Mirival Living 72th Street, New York, NY
Hummel & Co. Inc. was asked by parties involved in the construction of this on-structure (roof-top) lawn area to assess drainage problems experienced following construction. Working with the designers, H.M White, we helped develop a new drainage plan and root zone specifications for the lawn replacement. We also worked with the root zone supplier, Long Island Compost, during the mix development and quality control phases by providing the necessary testing.
Alliance Bank Stadium, Syracuse, NY
Hummel & Co. Inc. worked with designers Appel Osborne in the development of specifications for the replacement of a synthetic turf field with a natural turf field. We also provided the materials testing for the project, including root zone mix design and quality control testing.
Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH
After a devastating winter in 2008-2009, the staff at Dartmouth College asked Dr. Norm Hummel to visit the campus to provide an assessment of their sports fields and to make recommendations for renovation and maintenance. Thanks to the hard work of the field maintenance staff, the fields were brought back into great shape in time for summer camps.
Nashua High School, Nashua, NH
Dr. Norm Hummel was invited to serve as an expert witness in a case involving problems associated with the construction of sports fields at this facility. After visiting the site and testing on-site soils, recommendations were made to the satisfaction of all parties involved. The matter was settled out of court and after the fix was made the school had fields that performed as they expected.
