MetLife Stadium

OVERVIEW
Home to the New York Giants and Jets, MetLife Stadium is an 82,000-seat, open-air stadium constructed within the Meadowlands Sports Complex. The project was challenged by poor subsurface conditions, numerous existing site utilities, proximity to the existing stadium and racetrack, and the need to construct the proposed stadium while operating the existing Giants Stadium and utility infrastructure that serves the Meadowlands Sports Complex. The expertise of several Langan disciplines was called upon to facilitate design and construction of the stadium and maintain the project schedule. Langan provided geotechnical, site/civil, environmental, traffic engineering, surveying, permitting, and landscape architecture services for MetLife Stadium – working with the owners, design-build contractor, and a diverse team of architects and designers.

DMAVA Park and Hudson River Walkway

OVERVIEW
DMAVA Park and Hudson River Walkway is a public waterfront park offering sweeping views of Lower Manhattan and the New York Harbor, as well as the home of the historic Colgate Clock. This project responded to the environmental, historical, and recreational challenges of the property, specifically the movement of goods and cargo nearby and the historic migrations of people through nearby Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Langan designed this project for the NJDEP, including 1,600 linear feet of waterfront walkways, a bulkhead and waterfront esplanade, a timber boardwalk, and a three-acre park along the Morris Canal Basin, across from Liberty State Park. Our sensitive approach to preservation and ecologically-based engineering helped interpret and magnify this history while reconnecting Jersey City to its waterfront.

Goya Foods Headquarters

OVERVIEW
The new headquarters consists of an approximately 615,000-SF warehouse on a 40-acre site. Langan provided site/civil, geotechnical, surveying, traffic engineering, landscape architecture, and natural resources permitting services. Our multi-disciplined approach greatly simplified a complex development process, thereby bringing great value to Goya. Additionally, Langan recommended a concrete modulus column subgrade improvement program, which was designed to support a high slab loading with a minimal settlement tolerance. This solution saved approximately $8 million as compared to a standard deep pile foundation.

Maxwell Place

OVERVIEW
The Maxwell Place development consists of a large, luxury residential waterfront development. Numerous industrial structures once occupied the project site, which was partially reclaimed from the Hudson River. The 12-story residential buildings, with a combined footprint area of about 170,000 SF, were constructed in three phases, along with associated below- and above-grade parking structures. The adaptation of the foundation systems to the highly variable subsurface conditions created substantial cost and schedule savings for the development/construction team. The project also included the first ever deep dynamic compaction improvement in the history of Hoboken.

Prudential Center

OVERVIEW
In the heart of downtown Newark, The Prudential Center is home to the New Jersey Devils, Seton Hall University Pirates, and an exciting venue for major concerts and events. Langan provided preliminary site/civil, geotechnical and environmental engineering services for project.

Panasonic North American Headquarters

OVERVIEW
This 12-story, 340,000-SF high-end office building occupies a portion of a former below-grade parking structure. Langan's services included site/civil engineering, boundary and topographic surveying, traffic engineering, landscape architecture, natural resources, and geotechnical engineering. A major project challenge was the design of a 400-space parking lot, which required substantial coordination with the existing FBI complex. The building is the first of its kind in Newark, obtaining LEED Gold certification for the core and shell, as well as LEED Platinum certification for the interior.

Mannington Mills

OVERVIEW
This project involved the mitigation and restoration of over nine acres of wetland and upland areas as a requirement of an EPA dictated clean-up action. The final design featured a freshwater forested wetland; two areas of tidal emergent wetland; a stormwater wetland; and a restored meadow/old field habitat in upland areas over capped environmental waste. Successful permitting and design of this site required close cooperation between landscape architects, natural resources/permitting staff, and environmental engineers from the initial design phase through the completion of construction.

New York Jets Training Facility

OVERVIEW
The New York Jets state-of-the-art professional football training facility extends over 27 acres of former ExxonMobil Research Facility grounds, and is a key component for the future redevelopment of the site. This modern training facility is centered on a field house with an indoor playing field and another building with weight training facilities, classrooms and administrative offices. Langan provided full site services for the layout, grading and drainage of associated parking areas, interior roadways and walks, and four adjacent outdoor football fields, including one artificial turf field. Because the site was located between fresh water wetlands and state open waters, Langan was maximizing usable land area to meet the program needs of the facility.

MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper University Hospital

OVERVIEW
Langan is supporting the multi-story, 103,000-SF world-class cancer institute. The design includes a public plaza and garden, and a renovated landscape. The project has undergone extensive conceptual planning, programming, and site planning studies to locate the facility on an extremely tight urban site. Stormwater runoff from the proposed site was minimized by reducing the amount of on-site surface parking in favor of a heavily landscaped plaza space.

New York Botanical Garden – Native Plant Garden

OVERVIEW
The Native Plant Garden at New York Botanical Garden is an inviting space that educates visitors on the diversity, ecology, and horticultural benefits of native plants. The garden features a series of cascading ponds with a mechanical water-recirculation system, a filtration wetland, and several acres of native planting. Langan performed a geotechnical subsurface investigation to assist with the foundation design of the water feature and the perimeter elevated walkways. We also provided grading and drainage design focused on capturing stormwater runoff water in the ponds, while providing an adequate overflow conveyance for larger storm events. The project is aiming for certification through the Sustainable Site Initiative program. To help achieve this certification, Langan provided an innovative stormwater management design to improve water quality and retain rainwater for irrigation use and the ponds.
