King Abdullah Financial District – Ahlamana

OVERVIEW
Langan provided geotechnical engineering services for a mixed-use residential, office, and retail building located within the southern portion of the King Abdullah Financial District. Ahlamana consists of two structures, a 26-story (105 meter) residential tower and a 15-story (78 meter) office tower. Four basement levels are planned for about two-thirds of the parcel and a fifth basement level for the remainder of the parcel. The total footprint for the location is approximately 5,700 square meters. Langan’s subsurface investigation observed significant rock fracturing during drilling. Additional services included calculations and recommendations for permanent control of groundwater, a seismic evaluation, backfill and compaction, and a site-specific investigation to better understand conditions at the site.

Dubai Creek Harbour – Creek Gate Towers

OVERVIEW
The goal of the new Dubai Creek Harbour development is to integrate a smart, green city, while building on cultural heritage. The 113-million-SF project will contain 9 different districts and is expected to take 30 years to build. The mixed-use development will include waterfront eco-resorts, a marina and yacht club, commercial and retail spaces, luxury residences, and educational amenities. Creek Gate Towers, two of the project’s most anticipated residential buildings, will each rise 30-stories, house over 400 luxury apartments, and offer spectacular views of Dubai Creek Tower, a magnificent gravity-defying structure unparalleled in weight and strength. Langan reviewed previous geotechnical reports and developed a 3D geotechnical Finite Element Method (FEM) model of the towers’ foundations, podiums and the surrounding soil and rock. Langan prepared a final report to summarize findings and results, which included interpretation of subsurface conditions, derivation of soil, rock and interface properties, description and assumptions of the FEM model, analysis results and calculated pile springs, recommendations for transient load analysis, and lateral load analysis results.

Nine Elms Square – London, UK

OVERVIEW
Just south of the River Thames, the 10-acre former New Covent Garden Flower Market site is being redeveloped as a mixed-use development featuring 12 residential buildings and a linear park that will run from Vauxhall Bridge to the Battersea Power Station. The luxury residential towers will rise up to 55 floors above a deep, single level basement containing servicing and parking. Other facilities will include restaurants, bars, retail outlets, and commercial space. Langan supported the ambitious design and construction program from the outset, assisting in the execution of a £1m ($1.3m) geotechnical and geo-environmental site investigation and a preliminary pile testing program. Working closely with the project architect, SOM, we completed complex Finite Element analyses to optimize pile group arrangements, seeking to facilitate rapid construction methods whilst ensuring associated settlements were within acceptable tolerances between adjacent buildings and the site-wide basement.
