JW Marriott Tampa Water Street

Located in Tampa's Water Street neighborhood, the 26-story JW Marriott contains 519 rooms, 100,000 SF of meeting and event space, and amenities, including a full-service spa, fitness center, pool and sun terrace, rooftop lounge, and restaurant. As the project’s geotechnical engineer-of-record, Langan prepared a geotechnical engineering study, assisted the design and construction team during preconstruction value engineering exercises, and prepared foundation specifications. We also conducted an extensive supplemental/pilot boring program prior to the installation of the production drilled shafts, worked closely with the structural engineer and foundation contractor to implement a deep-drilled shaft foundation system specific to the site, and provided construction observation and monitoring for the foundation system. Our efficient foundation design led to substantial cost savings for the owner.
