Abstract/Contents:Profiles the construction of a soccer field on a hillside in Achiltibuie, Scotland, illustrating the drawing and computer modeling work. Adds that with the photographs, "the way these drawings relate to the actual work site" is reflected. Explains the initial process to determine whether construction was possible, indicating that a site survey was conducted to show the ground levels and surface features. Includes information on the earth moving equipment used to dig test holes. Provides the development of the ground model and its construction with help from the CAD (computer-aided design) department, including the construction of platforms, slopes, and drainage system. States that "along with the main pitch platform works there were extensive peripheral works that were carried out as part of the overall development of the facility." Illustrates the planning and construction process of the field with several photographs.
