Flower Mart (5th and Brannan)

OVERVIEW
Langan is providing geotechnical engineering services for the historic San Francisco landmark, which will be preserved and redeveloped into a mixed-use space consisting of four to seven structures over one to two basement levels totaling 2 million SF. The mixed-use structures will include office, retail, and/or residential space and below-grade parking. Our team will perform a geotechnical investigation to evaluate subsurface conditions and provide design-level recommendations for the geotechnical and seismic aspects of the design and construction of the proposed buildings. Our seismic team developed site-specific earthquake design criteria as required for the SDRT tall building review process.

NYCSCA PS 50Q Addition

OVERVIEW
Langan provided site/civil and geotechnical engineering services for the five-story addition to PS 50 in Jamaica, Queens. The school serves pre-K through fifth grade and special education students, and the addition added 200 seats to the existing 1.921 seat school. The 53,000-SF addition features new classrooms, a library, a cafeteria and a gymnasium. Langan provided an early works package that included the removal of Temporary Classroom Units (TCU), temporary grading and drainage plans. Site/civil engineering services included the preparation of construction documents (erosion/sediment control, grading & drainage, utilities and construction details) to support the new building addition. Langan’s geotechnical engineering services included evaluation of the subsurface conditions, preparation of the geotechnical engineering report, and geotechnical-related specifications. Langan provided engineering consultation to the design team on foundation-related issues and supplied full construction administration services.

Rise at Flagler Village

OVERVIEW
Rise at Flagler Village is a luxury apartment rental development located in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The 238-unit development consists of a 30-story tower with an attached 8-story parking garage with roof-top pool and amenity deck, a fitness center, lounge and garden. The development also includes ground-floor retail space. Langan provided geotechnical engineering services including subsurface exploration, geotechnical engineering study and foundation design recommendations, consultations for dewatering, construction administration and oversight during installation and load testing of pile foundations.

Through a value engineering collaborative effort with the design-development team, Langan was able to provide geotechnical engineering recommendations for a small-diameter, high-capacity augercast pile foundation system for support of the tower and garage. Langan carefully design the pile foundation lengths to reduce cost, allow for faster installation, and reduce the differential settlement between the 30-story tower and the 8-story parking garage.

Bridesburg Riverfront Park

OVERVIEW
Langan is leading a team of designers and engineers who are creating a 10-acre park on a paved brownfield on Philadelphia’s Delaware River waterfront. A varied landscape featuring a central lawn framed by an upland meadow, a gravel garden stormwater swale, and riparian plantings will create the setting for park amenities including a stage pavilion, lawn amphitheater, boardwalk, and stage pavilion. Langan’s understanding of the site’s environmental conditions and regulatory realities guided the park’s design and soil-management strategy. Our subconsultants for the project include SITIO Architecture, Ground Reconsidered, O’Donnell and Naccarato, Arora Engineering, Milrose Consultants, and Becker & Frondorf.
