Fulfillment Center – San Diego County

OVERVIEW
Langan is providing site/civil and geotechnical engineering for the development of a new 703,000 SF distribution facility on a 63.38 acre site in unincorporated San Diego County, California. The development includes a multi-story AR Sort fulfillment center with 1,770 auto parking spaces, 304 trailer parking spaces and significant site improvements on an undeveloped vacant site. Challenges on the site include significant earthwork mobilization and grading design; drainage and water quality mitigation; and off-site utilities and street improvements.

Rankin 45 Distribution Center

OVERVIEW
Langan performed site/civil and traffic services in the support of a proposed 350,000 SF cross dock warehouse building on a 23 acre tract in Houston, TX.

Fulfillment Center – Akron

OVERVIEW
This fulfillment center involved the redevelopment of the former Rolling Acres Mall in Akron, Ohio, into an e-commerce fulfillment center. The revitalization of the site involved the demolition of remaining anchor department store buildings to make way for the 700,000-SF building. Langan provided a full range of services on the project during due diligence and design. We assisted with the land assemblage process including conceptual site planning, surveying, environmental and natural resource assessment, and evaluation of transportation and utility infrastructure capacity to serve the project.

Fulfillment Center – Florida

OVERVIEW
Langan provided site/civil engineering and environmental services for a new 850,000-SF fulfillment center in the Carrie Meek International Business Park, located in the City of Opa Locka, Florida in north Miami-Dade County. The fulfillment center spans over 90 acres and is the largest building in the business park. Langan designed a regional donation sanitary sewer pumping station compliant with Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department design standards. We also assisted with a Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments, implemented a soil management plan which included the monitoring of the relocation of contaminated soil, implemented an air monitoring plan during construction, and provided oversight of the removal of asbestos lined pipe by a licensed contractor. Approvals from Miami-Dade County Aviation Department, Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resource Management and the Miami-Dade County Building Department were obtained.

Cranbury Logistics Center

OVERVIEW
Langan prepared a general development plan submission for this 395-acre parcel adjacent to the New Jersey Turnpike. Langan’s integrated team of site/civil, geotechnical and environmental engineers and scientists prepared a design to construct 2.8 million SF of warehouse distribution on approximately 150 acres of the site. The full build-out of the business park includes three cross-dock warehouse buildings and is one of the largest wetland mitigation projects in state history. Proper remediation of the site required impact to nearly 50 acres of contaminated wetlands. In order to minimize impacts to forested areas, sparsely vegetated uplands were excavated to form shallow concave grades to allow water to accumulate in these areas, creating an amphibian habitat. An extended 10-acre stormwater basin was also used to create additional wetlands mitigation by designing planting shelves and islands within the basins to allow for wetland plantings to grow.

Fulfillment Center – Fall River

OVERVIEW
Langan provided a variety of services for the design and construction of the fulfillment center located in Fall River. Design services included layout of the one million-SF distribution center along with 1,500± passenger vehicle parking stalls, a truck court, a rain garden, and a stormwater management basin. Langan met the water quality requirements for the site by designing a rain garden and stormwater management basin as opposed to using numerous expensive water quality manufactured treatment devices. Langan quickly and efficiently prepared and delivered a site plan submission to the regulatory agencies and approvals were obtained in short order, with few comments and very minor revisions.
