Turnberry Place

OVERVIEW
Located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, Turnberry Place is a five-star, luxury high-rise condominium development consisting of four 40-story towers and an expansive club facility. The size of the structures, the sequencing of construction, and depressed parking levels created specific geotechnical and construction project challenges. Subsurface conditions consisted of highly stratified Las Vegas Valley alluvium with layers of “caliche,” or cemented soils, found within distinct zones throughout the site. Langan developed a mat foundation alternative—the most appropriate and cost-effective solution—and provided geotechnical recommendations for construction dewatering and a permanent sub-slab drainage system for the depressed garage floor. Our recommendations for steeply sloped construction excavations, in lieu of a temporary shoring system, saved the client approximately $800,000 in construction costs.

Silvery Towers

OVERVIEW
Silvery Towers is a residential development in downtown San Jose. The project features two towers, 22 and 20 stories, above three basement levels, offering retail and residential space, including 643 apartment units and associated parking. The three basement levels required excavation of 34 to 38 feet below street grade. Langan provided multi-disciplinary engineering services for design and construction of the project. Data from the geotechnical investigation was used to reduce field exploration costs. We performed field observation and provided weekly reports regarding stormwater compliance per the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP).
