Lincoln Centre Life Sciences Research Campus

OVERVIEW
Located on the Peninsula, Lincoln Centre is a 595,000-SF biomedical and life sciences research campus redevelopment. The buildings of the former industrial park were demolished. The development now includes three office/laboratory buildings, three parking structures, and an amenities building. Langan performed a geotechnical investigation and site-specific seismic studies, updated the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, conducted a Limited Environmental Site Characterization, and provided construction observation and analytical testing services.

Bayshore Technology Park

OVERVIEW
The one million-square foot Bayshore Technology Park exemplifies Langan's expertise with landfill redevelopment and the integration of our core engineering disciplines: site/civil, geotechnical, and environmental. We provide engineering design, permitting and bid/construction administration support for various site improvement projects throughout the campus. These site improvements support the flexibility and growth of the Park, which touts amenities that go beyond office space: fitness facilities, basketball courts, walking trails, and a Cal Train shuttle, among other amenities.

Visa Metro Center

OVERVIEW
Langan provided geotechnical services for the design and construction of VISA's West Coast headquarters in Foster City. The project consisted of two 12-story office towers and adjacent 4-story parking structures. Foundations for the buildings include 125-foot-long, 14-inch-square, reinforced concrete piles designed for allowable loads of 130 tons. The piles extend through 50 to 60 feet of man-made fill and weak marine deposits, taking support in stiff clay and dense sand at depth.

The Campus @ 3333 Scott Boulevard

OVERVIEW
This 30-acre site was one of the last remaining large-development sites between San Francisco and San Jose. Langan performed geotechnical investigations and provided construction observation and testing services for all phases of this project, which consists of seven office buildings, two parking garages, and an amenities building.

5000 Shoreline

OVERVIEW
Langan developed repair plans for the site around the existing building to mitigate differential settlement. The existing building, currently occupied by Actelion Pharmaceuticals and managed by Jones Lang LaSalle, was constructed over ten years ago on the Sierra Point Landfill. The site experienced significant settlement relative to the pile-supported building resulting in the need for site improvements. Langan also worked with the owner to address concerns on the operation of the existing methane mitigation system.

Seaport Plaza

OVERVIEW
Langan performed a geotechnical investigation and provided services during construction for the Seaport Plaza. The 5.7-acre site is south of Redwood Creek. The general area was once part of the tidelands and subsequently a salt evaporation pond. The development consists of two 3-story office buildings, surrounding parking lots, an entrance court yard, and raising existing levees. The lower building level is partially below grade and used for parking. A key geotechnical issue was the presence of 16 to 25 feet of weak, compressible Bay Mud.

Port of Redwood City

OVERVIEW
The Wharves 1 & 2 Replacement Project involved demolition of an existing timber wharf and construction of a concrete wharf in addition to civil engineering site improvements. The site is underlain primarily with soft to stiff clay (i.e. Bay Mud) such that long-term settlement impacts needed to be considered in time design solutions. The project includes phased demolition plans, erosion control, design-build site improvement plans, and permit acquisition of the active port as well as RCRA closure of the former Gibson Environmental facility. Grading was an important aspect of this project due to strict conformance to FEMA, sea level rise, and City Flood Plain Elevation regulations.

SFO Long Term Parking Garage No. 2

OVERVIEW
The design-build SFO Long Term Parking Garage 2 provides capacity for 3,600 vehicles. The 6-story, 1.2-million-SF parking structure was designed to be most technologically advanced structure of its kind with an Automated Parking Guidance System and infrastructure for 20% electric vehicle charging. The structure is a certified green Parksmart garage, and will achieve net-zero energy consumption via the use of photovoltaic panels, potentially non-potable water in the concrete mix, and other sustainability features. This facility includes a pedestrian and vehicle bridge that connects to the adjacent garage.

Mission Bay Redevelopment

OVERVIEW
Langan has been providing consulting services for the Mission Bay development since 1991. Services include geotechnical, environmental, civil, and methane mitigation. Mission Bay is a 303-acre site under redevelopment with projects, such as residential, senior living, commercial, sports, educational, laboratory, and technology facilities, parks, and new infrastructure. Built on land reclaimed in the 1880s, the site was underlain by heterogeneous fill and weak and compressible Bay Mud.
