Kapor Center Seismic Upgrade

OVERVIEW
The Kapor Center is a 3-story Chicago-style curbed building with a basement. Built in the 1920s, the building had been vacant for over a decade when the Kapor Center, a technology and social impact nonprofit, selected it for its headquarters. The building was gutted to improve the infrastructure through seismic retrofitting. Now completed, the LEED Gold-certified building offers a ground-level restaurant and shared meeting space, a rooftop reception area with a modern-style dome, a 100-seat auditorium, and conference rooms. Langan performed geotechnical engineering analysis and provided recommendations for the proposed seismic strengthening scheme. Our team also completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the property

OVERVIEW
Langan provided mobile LiDAR data collection, feature extraction, and mapping services for the TWA Historic Flight Center at JFK Airport, New York for MCR Development. Langan deployed its Pegasus Mobile Mapping System within JFK Airport and collected integrated video logging and LiDAR data for the project area. Langan brought the LiDAR point clouds into Leica's Map Factory and Certainty 3D's TopoDOT products to extract roadway and vertical features. The list of extracted features included signs, posts, signals, hydrants, valves, manholes, curb, sidewalk, pavement markings, centerlines, poles, overhead wires, building footprints, and storm grates.
