Nine Elms Square – London, UK

OVERVIEW
Just south of the River Thames, the 10-acre former New Covent Garden Flower Market site is being redeveloped as a mixed-use development featuring 12 residential buildings and a linear park that will run from Vauxhall Bridge to the Battersea Power Station. The luxury residential towers will rise up to 55 floors above a deep, single level basement containing servicing and parking. Other facilities will include restaurants, bars, retail outlets, and commercial space. Langan supported the ambitious design and construction program from the outset, assisting in the execution of a £1m ($1.3m) geotechnical and geo-environmental site investigation and a preliminary pile testing program. Working closely with the project architect, SOM, we completed complex Finite Element analyses to optimize pile group arrangements, seeking to facilitate rapid construction methods whilst ensuring associated settlements were within acceptable tolerances between adjacent buildings and the site-wide basement.

First 290 @ Guhn Road

OVERVIEW
Langan provided environmental and civil engineering services for the development of the +130,000-SF Class A bulk distribution facility located in Northwest Houston. The approximately 10-acre site required flood plain mitigation work and approval by Harris County. In addition, 700LF of off site extensions of City of Houston water and sewer were required.

Gateway National Recreation Area – Shore Road & Battery Harris Trail

OVERVIEW
Fort Tilden, also known as Fort Tilden Historic District, is a former United States Army installation on the coast of Queens. Fort Tilden now forms part of the Gateway National Recreation Area, and is administered by the National Park Service (NPS). After Superstorm Sandy destroyed the park’s original concrete Shore Road in October 2012, the NPS needed to rebuild Shore Road and widen Range Road without the use of concrete or asphalt. Langan performed full design, permitting, and full-time construction oversight services for the project. Our team helped obtain Coastal Erosion Hazard Area and Tidal Wetlands Adjacent Area permits from New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for the use of a clamshell roadway for the replacement of Shore Road. The clamshell roadway design consisted of 2 inches of crushed clamshells over 12 inches of a sand silt base material. The substitute of clamshell for the concrete significantly reduced the project carbon footprint and is compatible to the surrounding natural environment even if damaged by coastal storms.

NJCU Monmouth at Squier Hall

OVERVIEW
New Jersey City University is expanding its facilities by opening a state-of-the-art educational facility in the former Squier Hall building which is situated on a 5.7-acre parcel in the northern portion of the former Army base in Oceanport. Future phases are intended to expand the universities facilities to a total of 28-acres. The 1935-era Squier Hall building will be renovated to hold 15 classrooms, various nursing labs, training rooms, offices and a small café to serve approximately 1,000 students. Langan’s extensive work at Fort Monmouth provides unique understanding to the site. Langan’s scope includes land surveying, site/civil engineering design, landscape architecture design and preparation of drawings for the site plan application submission and construction. The site plans, as well as all other plans, would be prepared in accordance with the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority and Borough of Oceanport Land Development Ordinance.

Tampa International Airport Laser Scan

OVERVIEW
Langan deployed a unique combination of state of the art survey grade mobile mapping and static 3D laser scanning surveying techniques to document the multi-level departure, arrival curb side passenger areas along with the vehicular access roadway system at Tampa International Airport. Combined with traditional survey targeting as completed by Vivid Consulting Group, this approach provided the least amount of disruption to the airport's passengers and staff while addressing safety and schedule requirements required by the project and airport operators. Langan provided extracted 3D CAD data, point cloud, and BIM support.
