Goya Foods Headquarters

OVERVIEW
The new headquarters consists of an approximately 615,000-SF warehouse on a 40-acre site. Langan provided site/civil, geotechnical, surveying, traffic engineering, landscape architecture, and natural resources permitting services. Our multi-disciplined approach greatly simplified a complex development process, thereby bringing great value to Goya. Additionally, Langan recommended a concrete modulus column subgrade improvement program, which was designed to support a high slab loading with a minimal settlement tolerance. This solution saved approximately $8 million as compared to a standard deep pile foundation.

Panasonic North American Headquarters

OVERVIEW
This 12-story, 340,000-SF high-end office building occupies a portion of a former below-grade parking structure. Langan's services included site/civil engineering, boundary and topographic surveying, traffic engineering, landscape architecture, natural resources, and geotechnical engineering. A major project challenge was the design of a 400-space parking lot, which required substantial coordination with the existing FBI complex. The building is the first of its kind in Newark, obtaining LEED Gold certification for the core and shell, as well as LEED Platinum certification for the interior.

Cranbury Logistics Center

OVERVIEW
Langan prepared a general development plan submission for this 395-acre parcel adjacent to the New Jersey Turnpike. Langan’s integrated team of site/civil, geotechnical and environmental engineers and scientists prepared a design to construct 2.8 million SF of warehouse distribution on approximately 150 acres of the site. The full build-out of the business park includes three cross-dock warehouse buildings and is one of the largest wetland mitigation projects in state history. Proper remediation of the site required impact to nearly 50 acres of contaminated wetlands. In order to minimize impacts to forested areas, sparsely vegetated uplands were excavated to form shallow concave grades to allow water to accumulate in these areas, creating an amphibian habitat. An extended 10-acre stormwater basin was also used to create additional wetlands mitigation by designing planting shelves and islands within the basins to allow for wetland plantings to grow.

Campbell Soup Company Corporate HQ Demolition

OVERVIEW
Langan was a part of the team joined to revitalize the abandoned, asbestos-filled Campbell Soup Factory. Langan was charged with the evaluation and remediation design of the contamination, the preparation of construction documents for the demolition of over 600,000 square feet using implosion methods, and the design of infrastructure improvements. Of the 150,000 tons of demolition rubble, all except 800 tons were reused at the site, resulting in a $3,000,000 cost savings. Today, a ballpark, amphitheater, office buildings and aquarium occupy this site.

Historic “Tin” Building at South Street Seaport

OVERVIEW
This project involved the documentation of the historic ‘Tin’ building which is located at South Street Seaport along the East River in Manhattan. The work done by Langan was related to the planned relocation of this building to another site at the seaport. The building itself dates back to the early 1900s. Langan surveyors provided both traditional and 3D laser scanning services in support of the project. The combination of the two types of surveying allowed drawings to be generated in a much more cost effective and timely manner than would be possible otherwise. The use of 3D laser scanning made it possible to capture the many fine details of this structure.

DMAVA Park and Hudson River Walkway

OVERVIEW
DMAVA Park and Hudson River Walkway is a public waterfront park offering sweeping views of Lower Manhattan and the New York Harbor, as well as the home of the historic Colgate Clock. This project responded to the environmental, historical, and recreational challenges of the property, specifically the movement of goods and cargo nearby and the historic migrations of people through nearby Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Langan designed this project for the NJDEP, including 1,600 linear feet of waterfront walkways, a bulkhead and waterfront esplanade, a timber boardwalk, and a three-acre park along the Morris Canal Basin, across from Liberty State Park. Our sensitive approach to preservation and ecologically-based engineering helped interpret and magnify this history while reconnecting Jersey City to its waterfront.
