The site was previously used by FMC Corporation for the testing of military tracked vehicles under US Department of Defense Contracts. Phase 1 of the project includes four office/mixed use buildings, ranging from 4 to 6 stories tall, several small retail structures, parking structures, and associated paved parking areas. As the environmental consultant, Langan conducted various tasks including soil sampling, soil gas investigation, and groundwater treatment system evaluation.

Accurate Box

OVERVIEW
Accurate Box, one of the largest independent manufacturers of high-quality laminated packaging in the US, is a 73-year old family-owned business based in Paterson, NJ. Accurate Box called on Langan to help expand their headquarters to over 300,000 SF, so that they could continue to grow and increase much needed employment in the City of Paterson. Langan faced several technical challenges that required innovative approaches to resolving the unique conditions encountered during construction. Environmental considerations also increased the complexity of construction. A number of unanticipated underground storage tanks were identified, removed, and reported to the NJDEP.
