Langan Qualifications Prepared for Georgetown Partners

19Nineteen Clarendon Boulevard

OVERVIEW
Langan was retained to oversee and supervise the removal of two unknown underground fuel oil storage tanks during site development. A characterization investigation followed and a total of 1,373.59-tons of petroleum-contaminated soils were excavated from the site and transported off-site for disposal. Langan is also conducting the monthly testing and monitoring of the on-site dewatering system that was installed after the site investigation.

3535 South Ball Street

OVERVIEW
Located in the center of the Potomac Yards development, Camden Development’s residential and retail mixed-use Landbay E development is the shining star of this high-profile brownfield redevelopment project in the Crystal City area of Arlington, Virginia. The building is 12 stories in height, with three-levels below grade.

Langan performed subsurface investigations to identify both the geotechnical and environmental conditions of the fill soils used to reclaim the site area from the Potomac River basin as part of its initial development as a major freight and passenger rail terminus.

West Heating Plant

OVERVIEW
The proposed redevelopment of this World War II-era former coal heating plant into a Four Seasons Residences in Georgetown, is both historically and environmentally sensitive. This site was purchased from the General Services Administration as part of the government’s effort to minimize the federal footprint by selling unused property. Langan provided preliminary site/civil and geotechnical services and reviewed existing historic documentation for the property. We also conducted several environmental investigations, including mercury and PCB monitoring, lead paint abatement, and asbestos testing.

The Balton and Douglass Park

OVERVIEW
The Balton and Douglass Park includes two apartment buildings - one 12-story and one 8-story - that contain a total of 226 affordable housing units. The project is a 75/25 middle-income/low-income rental. A third building (for-sale, market-rate) was included in the design for a subsequent phase. The total development parcel footprint is over 46,000 SF with a subway running beneath a portion of the site. The Langan survey team performed a laser scan of eight building façades on the outparcels to quantify aerial encroachments of leaning buildings, a critical design component to minimize construction delays and maximize buildable area. Langan geotechnical engineers obtained approval from New York City Transit, while our site/civil engineers designed and permitted installation of vaults, curb cuts, street light relocations, and redesign of over 650 feet of street frontage. Langan environmental engineers peer-reviewed Phase II data to help the client value-engineer soil remediation activities.

Hope VI Redevelopment – King’s Court at Freedom Village

OVERVIEW
King’s Court is a redevelopment of the properties on the site formerly known as the Apollo Dye Factory. The properties were subject to site remediation, which had to be coordinated with the proposed 4-story, 78,000 ± SF senior housing residential building (consisting of 70 one-bedroom units), access drives, and associated parking facilities. The redevelopment was included as part of the HOPE VI Revitalization grant in cooperation with the Paterson Housing Authority. The King’s Court at Freedom Village will be a LEED-Certified building. Langan provided a full range of services for the design and permitting, which included obtaining local, county, and state approvals for Pennrose, as well as assisted the developer in obtaining federal and state funding and tax abatements.

Langan provided services throughout this redevelopment process in association with the construction of two 29,430-SF office buildings and a 61,700-SF parking garage, including site/civil, geotechnical, and environmental engineering. Langan site/civil engineering services included site demolition, grading, drainage, erosion and sediment, utilities and construction details to support the building projects and the east campus landscape enhancement project. Geotechnical services included conducting subsurface investigations including borings and test pits, a geotechnical report and design support for the preparation of foundation documents for three new buildings and site improvement.

Biotrial North American Headquarters

OVERVIEW
Langan provided geotechnical, civil, environmental, traffic, and landscape architecture services to this France-based biotechnology and pharmaceutical company. The first phase of the project consisted of a five-story, 70,000-SF glass building, which features metal panels that rise on two sides of the building, symbolizing the nature of Biotrial's pharmaceutical testing mission. Phased site design construction plans include a screened-in service and parking area with underground stormwater storage, a public plaza at the front of the building that will carry the building pattern toward the public sidewalk, and a private volunteer garden that will provide a green resting area for building users.

Lehigh Valley Health Network

OVERVIEW
Penn Regional Business Center initiated the potential development of this former residential property as a data center located in the commercial corridor of State Route 447. Lehigh Valley Health Network (formerly Pocono Medical Center) came on board to redirect the development into a medical office building (MOB). Langan handled the overall permitting and re-permitting of the project from the original data center approvals to the now constructed MOB. In particular, this site was burdened by an ordinance that prohibited increases in stormwater runoff from redevelopment of the site to the natural downstream receiving water body (Flory’s Pond) due to flooding conditions at that location. This rendered the original property commercially undevelopable. Langan provided a unique solution requiring significant permitting to overcome the issue by redirecting the stormwater to a different watershed over a half a mile from the site.
