Southwest Park

OVERVIEW
Southwest Park is a new one-acre city park that incorporates the delay and store components of the Rebuild by Design approach. Following the city’s Green Infrastructure Strategic Plan, Langan designed and prepared the stormwater management for this park. We designed a system to hold the equivalent of a 10-year storm volume through green stormwater infrastructure components, including bioswales and rain gardens to mitigate existing flooding within this area of the city. Langan is the Licensed Site Remediation Professional for the project and has provided the necessary environmental controls while maintaining the design intent. Langan has also provided geotechnical engineering services and worked with the team to provide cost effective design alternatives by incorporating light-weight fill material to eliminate the need for piles.

I-70 Spill Response

OVERVIEW
Langan provided environmental and geotechnical engineering services in support of a 5,000-gallon petroleum spill that occurred along Interstate-70 in Gypsum, Colorado. The spill site is located within about 100 feet from the Eagle River so the petroleum spill had to be remediated expeditiously to prevent ecological damage. We prepared a Corrective Action Plan that included a subsurface investigation to delineate the extent of petroleum impacts and defined remedial objectives. Our geotechnical scope consisted of developing engineering plans to specify requirements for excavations adjacent to the I-70 median, backfill oversight, and compaction and moisture testing using a nuclear density/moisture gauge in accordance with CDOT specifications.

Swift Factory

OVERVIEW
The Swift Factory complex served as the economic engine of the Northeast Hartford community for more than 100 years before its closure in 2005. The historic, industrial brownfield site contains the former M. Swift and Sons factory, the historical manufacturers of gold leaf and other pressed metals, as well as two homes on a site totaling 2.6 acres. Community Solutions is re-purposing the facility into a multi-purpose community hub to improve health and create jobs for the neighborhood residents. Langan provided engineering services including site, grading, utilities, and drainage design. We performed the site design around the constraints of renovating an existing building.
