Campus for Wildlife Care

OVERVIEW
This project consisted of developing the Campus for Wildlife Care and Rehabilitation on an approximately 170-acre site on the northeast side of Congress Springs Road (Highway 9). Unique geotechnical challenges include an extensive quarrying history, the presence of significant amounts of undocumented fill, and multiple traces of the San Andreas fault extending through the site. Langan performed a geologic and geotechnical investigation of the site, which included geologic mapping, fault trench exploration, laboratory testing and slope stability analyses. Langan also provided observation services during construction to repair portions of the main access road throughout the property, which had been damaged by landslides.

Craig Farm Drum

OVERVIEW
The Craig Farm site is a 117-acre Superfund site in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. Between 1958 and 1963, approximately 8,000 tons of drummed waste material were deposited in two former strip mine pits on the site property and covered with topsoil. Langan developed and implemented a feasibility study that incorporated alternative remedial approaches, published an Explanation of Significant Differences that memorialized remedy modifications, and prepared the Final Design Report for the remedy modification, which consisted of a $1.4M cap and a bioswale.

Abraham Joshua Heschel Lower/Middle School

OVERVIEW
Langan provided multi-disciplinary services for the construction of the 9-story, 150,000-SF, Lower/Middle School on Manhattan's Upper West Side. This LEED-certified school includes an early childhood center, elementary school, and middle school. Langan's CEQR services included the preparation of an Environmental Assessment Statement (EAS) as part of a bulk and height zoning variance request, which was approved by the NYC Board of Standards and Appeals in 2009. The EAS focused on stationary source noise, hazardous materials and shadows impacts.

Abraham Lincoln High School

OVERVIEW
Langan completed a geotechnical investigation for a new $15-million two-story building at Abraham Lincoln High School, which was designed to adhere to the latest sustainability principles. The structure was carefully situated on the campus to take full advantage of the unique microclimate and solar exposure. On the basis of available subsurface information and preliminary engineering analyses, Langan concluded the geotechnical conditions for the proposed improvements were feasible as planned.

Avenues: The World School

OVERVIEW
Langan provided City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR), site/civil, geotechnical, environmental, and survey services for this ten-story, 205,000-SF school located at 259 Tenth Avenue. The building is a national landmark that is adjacent to section two of the High Line elevated park in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. The school is the first in a global network of schools serving students from pre-school through high school with the goal of preparing them for success in an "increasingly worldly society."

56 Leonard

OVERVIEW
Langan engineers provided site/civil, geotechnical, and environmental services for this condominium tower featuring dramatic, cantilevered terraces. It will be Architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron's first high-rise commission anywhere in the world. The site, a 125-ft-wide by 100-ft-deep rectangular parcel in Tribeca, consists of two adjoined lots previously occupied by the former New York Law School (NYLS) library building. The proposed building will consist of a 60-story residential high-rise tower with a single cellar level.

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.
