Ripken Management & Design was obtained by Catholic University of America to reconstruct the infield for their Division I baseball program. After years of additional soils and treatments, an 8-12 inch buildup in their infield has taken place. A visible drop-off from the arch of the infield to the outfield grass was the result, adding a large injury risk to players.
