Langan Qualifications – Siemens

Lincoln Centre Life Sciences Research Campus

OVERVIEW
Located on the Peninsula, Lincoln Centre is a 595,000-SF biomedical and life sciences research campus redevelopment. The buildings of the former industrial park were demolished. The development now includes three office/laboratory buildings, three parking structures, and an amenities building. Langan performed a geotechnical investigation and site-specific seismic studies, updated the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, conducted a Limited Environmental Site Characterization, and provided construction observation and analytical testing services.

JP Morgan Chase Data Center

OVERVIEW
Langan provided complete geotechnical, site/civil, and survey services for this data center, which consisted of renovating an existing 90,000-square-foot, two-story office building; constructing a new 40,000-square-foot building addition; and installing underground water storage tanks, back-up generators, and above-grade electrical substations.

University of Miami – Converge Miami

OVERVIEW
The research and development park provides office and laboratory space for companies to collaborate with UM researchers, making it easier to turn scientific discoveries into commercial products. The 1.4-million SF research and development complex includes multiple mid-rise buildings and associated parking structures. Langan prepared paving, grading, and drainage plans to expand the surface parking field and obtained a “Drainage Connection Permit” from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), which was required because the project abuts an FDOT-operated roadway. We also performed a geotechnical exploration to evaluate the subsurface conditions, spearheaded the pile load test program, and conducted earthwork monitoring and testing, which was complicated by environmental impacts in the soil and groundwater. Our detailed evaluation of excavated materials allowed for the reuse of materials as structural fill and pavement base course. This avoided the need for imported fill, resulting in considerable cost savings.

Tallahassee Renewable Energy Center

OVERVIEW
Biomass Gas & Electric is proposing to construct a biomass-fueled electrical generating power plant on an approximately 23-acre site in a geologically karst sensitive area. The site contains wetlands, a high voltage transmission line, and a significant grade change. Langan provided site/civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, natural resources and associated permitting services. Langan designed the site to accommodate the most efficient use of the land for the power plant while avoiding impacts to wetlands and balancing earthwork.

UCHC Outpatient Pavilion and Parking Garage

OVERVIEW

The UCHC Ambulatory Care Complex is a design-build project with an aggressive delivery schedule. The project includes a 300,000 square-foot medical building and six-story parking garage. Langan is providing engineering, environmental permitting and surveying services. Site challenges include existing wetlands that require filling, a mass excavation over more than 70 feet in some areas, a need for flood management verification, and significant utility upgrades and reconfigurations on an active health care campus. The site design will incorporate environmentally sensitive stormwater techniques and the team is seeking LEED Silver certification for the project.

3D Visualization of Comingled Chlorinated Solvent Plumes

OVERVIEW
Langan provided 3D visualization analysis of the hydrogeologic framework and contaminant transport at a former industrial facility in New Jersey. The site was characterized by a large and dilute chlorinated solvent plume that has migrated 5,300 feet within a fractured bedrock aquifer. Multiple off-site sources also contributed dissolved solvents to the comingled plume. Environmental Visualization Studio (EVS) software was utilized in order to gain a better understanding of contaminant transport in the fractured and faulted bedrock aquifer. EVS software uses advanced gridding and geostatistical analysis to create 3D models of geologic setting and analyte spatial data.

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.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium

OVERVIEW
Langan was retained as the environmental and geotechnical engineer of record for Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons. The 1.8-million-SF multi-purpose, 71,000-seat retractable roof stadium opened for the 2017 NFL Season. As the geotechnical and environmental consultant on the project, Langan continued its role throughout construction by providing asbestos abatement oversight, monitoring and testing of excavated soils to comply with the environmental soils management plan, underground storage tank closure management, storage tank closure assessments, vibration monitoring within the Marta Tunnel structure and geotechnical oversight of various foundation and ground improvement systems.

Former Gas Plant Remediation & Ecological Restoration

OVERVIEW
Langan developed and gained regulator agreement on a final remedy for a former major oil corporation gas plant site located in Southern California. The agreed upon path to closure utilized a background analysis and risk assessment to identify attainable remedial cleanup standards for constituents of potential concern. By taking a face-to-face approach with regulators (DTSC, Region 9 EPA, Central Coast RWQCB, County of Santa Barbara) and presenting a strong argument for a risk-based strategy to closure, Langan was able to achieve an agreed upon 1 to 2 year path to closure that was 27 years (case opened in 1988) in the making with two previous consultants.

Zuckerberg San Francisco Hospital & Trauma Center

OVERVIEW
The Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center is the only Level One trauma center serving 1.5 million people in the region. It is also the only hospital in San Francisco built with a base-isolated foundation, the latest technology for protecting buildings during seismic activity.The 10-story public hospital (8 stories above and 2 stories below ground) was constructed in an open space area next to the administrative, outpatient, and acute-care hospital buildings. Both hospitals are now connected via a pedestrian bridge and underground utility tunnel. Langan provided geotechnical and earthquake/seismic consulting services for the project.

MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper University Hospital

OVERVIEW
Langan provided integrated services for the 103,000 SF world-class cancer institute and its rooftop healing garden. Located on an extremely tight urban site, the project required extensive conceptual planning, programming, and site planning studies. Our team led permitting efforts, reconfigured vehicular circulation to provide safer access to facilities, and minimized stormwater runoff by reducing the amount of surface parking in favor of a landscaped plaza space. We also designed curved retaining walls to support tree plantings without needing roof penetration, designed the site lighting, and developed site-specific soil beds to minimize rooftop loading for the lush, tranquil healing garden.
