MAPPING BELMONT RACETRACK

At TC Merritts Land Surveyors, we pride ourselves on delivering precise and comprehensive surveying services. Recently, our team had the opportunity of conducting a topographic and aerial survey of the historic Belmont Racetrack. This prestigious project is a significant contribution to the future of Belmont Park.

The Project Overview

Belmont Park, known for hosting the Belmont Stakes, the final jewel in the Triple Crown series, is undergoing a transformative modernization. As part of this extensive redevelopment, our role was to provide detailed and accurate surveys that would serve as the foundation for future construction and enhancements. The information gathered from our surveys is crucial for the planners and architects responsible for reimagining this iconic venue.

Topographic Survey

Our topographic survey involved mapping the various natural and man-made features of the Belmont Racetrack. Using state-of-the-art equipment, our team meticulously measured the elevations and contours of the land. This process included identifying key features such as the track surface, infield, spectator areas, and surrounding infrastructure.

The data collected during the topographic survey will aid in understanding the current landscape, ensuring that any changes or additions are made with a precise knowledge of the existing conditions. This step is vital for planning drainage systems, constructing new facilities, and ensuring the overall safety and integrity of the racetrack.

Aerial Survey

The aerial survey is particularly useful for large-scale projects like Belmont’s modernization. It helps in visualizing the relationships between different areas of the park and facilitates the creation of accurate, large-scale maps that are essential for planning and development.

Laying Out the New Track

One of the most exciting aspects of our work at Belmont Racetrack was laying out the total area of the new track. This task required expertise, as it involves defining the exact dimensions and boundaries of the new racing surface. Our team utilized advanced GPS technologies to ensure the new track layout adheres to the highest standards of accuracy.

By providing precise measurements and clear markers, we have set the stage for the construction of the world-class racetrack. This new layout will not only enhance the racing experience but also ensure that Belmont Park remains a premier destination for horse racing enthusiasts for years to come.

Final Thoughts

TC Merritts Land Surveyors is proud to be at the forefront of the Belmont Racetrack project. We look forward to witnessing the transformation of Belmont Park and are honored to contribute to its future success.
