Jersey Gardens Mall
The Jersey Gardens project transformed an abandoned urban municipal landfill into a thriving 1.5 million square foot retail center. Langan’s contributions to the project included comprehensive surveying services, site/civil engineering, geotechnical consulting, construction management, and quality assurance and quality control inspections. Engineering Jersey Gardens posed many difficulties since the development included capping the landfill with up to 20 feet of treated dredge material from nearby bays, which created a corrosive subsurface environment and large anticipated differential settlements. Notable site improvements include 5500 parking stalls serviced by nearly 3.5 miles of internal access roads. Drainage features included over three miles of storm pipe ranging from 6 to 60 inches, two dry stormwater management detention basins and one wet basin that also functions as a water feature. On-site utilities include six external pump stations and over four miles of water and sanitary pipe.
