1029 Bay Street – Brunswick, GA

OVERVIEW
This 1.8-acre US EPA Brownfield site is located in a commercial and industrial area on the Turtle River in southeastern Georgia. The site was formerly occupied by the East Coast Ice Company, and housed other manufacturing and ship-related industrial uses since the 1800s. Langan provided a Phase I ESA and a Phase II ESA consisting of soil and groundwater assessment for redevelopment. The assessment included characterization of soil stockpiles, a historical 8,000-gallon underground storage tank, historical leaking USTs, potential asbestos-containing materials, and former rail and lumber wharf use.

3877 El Camino

OVERVIEW
Plans for 3877 El Camino are to develop a mixed-use podium-style building with 11,000 SF of retail space, 17 residential units, and an underground garage. As the site/civil engineer, Langan provided site layout, grading, and utility and stormwater management design services. Working with the City of Palo Alto's utility and stormwater departments, we coordinated off-site infrastructure upgrades and designs to meet project demands. Part of our scope includes addressing the City of Palo Alto's comments on stormwater hydraulics and hydrology and stormwater treatment. We are implementing an integrated approach — with input from the entire design team — to divert storm waters into biofiltration planters instead of directly into storm drain systems, which was part of the initial design.

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.

645 Texas

OVERVIEW
Langan provided site/civil and environmental engineering services for the 91-unit, 4- 5- story residential building with below-grade parking. It is on the edge of the Potrero Hill and Dog Patch neighborhoods. Various commercial and residential buildings formerly occupied the unique trapezoidal lot. This project had several technical challenges, including steep slopes along Texas and Mississippi streets and a water line, extending along Texas Street, which must meet San Francisco Fire Department standards.

75 Howard

OVERVIEW
Plans for 75 Howard are to build a 20-story residential building with 133 units, 102 below-ground parking spaces and 123 bicycle parking spaces. The building will also feature 5,824 SF of ground-floor retail space. A 7-story parking garage with one partially below-grade level currently occupies the site. One important aspect of our services will be to lead the stormwater management design. As the site is tributary to the City of San Francisco combined sewer system, the project will be required to reduce peak stormwater quantity, both flow and volume, to meet the requirements of the Stormwater Management Ordinance. Langan has also performed a preliminary geotechnical evaluation and an environmental site characterization for the site.

950 Market

OVERVIEW
The existing building at 950 Market is being demolished to construct a 12-story development that consists of a hotel, residential units, and retail. Langan is providing multi-disciplinary services. Because the structure comprises the majority of the site, an important aspect of our site/civil engineering services is the stormwater management design. The site is adjacent to BART and MUNI tunnels, which was a key consideration in providing appropriate recommendations for foundation and shoring design. The development is subject to San Francisco's Article 22A (Maher) Ordinance, which requires that site history and soil sampling be performed.

Ahwahnee Hotel

OVERVIEW
The Ahwahnee Hotel is the centerpiece of the Ahwahnee National Historic Landmark in Yosemite National Park. The hotel, constructed in the 1920s, is a multi-level structure ranging from three to six stories. Langan performed site-specific ground motion analysis, recommended suite of time histories, and foundation design parameters for the hotel site rehabilitation, as well as a geotechnical investigation and studies that addressed necessary improvements.

Ambler Boiler House

OVERVIEW
The towering smoke stack of the Boiler House has become an icon to the residents of Ambler Borough and to passengers traveling on the adjacent R-5 rail line. When completed, the Boiler House will contain 36,000 SF of exclusive office space, strategically located adjacent to the R-5 line. An extension of the passenger platform at Ambler Station will provide easy access to Center City Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Langan's site design focused on highlighting the industrial heritage of the site, while addressing some of the more serious contamination issues. The plan incorporated landscape elements and plant material consistent with an industrial site which still provided a level of finish appropriate for corporate offices.

Bloomin’ Brands

OVERVIEW
Bloomin' Brands hired Langan to perform an evaluation of site locations for their recent national expansion, which included a combination of new locations, as well as existing restaurant expansions. New locations were often considered to be freestanding sites or in-line space renovations. Langan performed site evaluations for each location, which focused on zoning constraints, development timelines with various regulatory agencies, parking analysis, alcoholic beverage restrictions, impact fees, and water and sewer connection fees. Langan's quick turnaround and comprehensive evaluations provided a great value to Bloomin’ Brands decision making process.

Bridge District Townhomes

OVERVIEW
Langan performed a geotechnical investigation for the Bridge District townhomes  project. The site is in an undeveloped portion of the Bridge District near the Sacramento River, between the eastern and western parcels of the Bridge District Apartments project. The proposed project consists of construction of four apartment buildings and four townhouse buildings. Langan evaluated subsurface conditions at the site and provided conclusions and recommendations for the geotechnical aspects of the design of the project. We anticipate additional improvements will include new pavements, hardscaping, and landscaping.

CCSF Chinatown/North Beach Campus

OVERVIEW
The City College of San Francisco (CCSF) campus consists of a 14-story tower over a basement (main building) and a 4-story building over a basement (annex building). Langan performed a geotechnical investigation, geologic hazard evaluation, and site-specific seismic response study. We also performed Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) for the project. Our report was submitted to the Division of the State Architect (DSA) and CGS for review and was approved without exception. This project was the largest California community college and tallest structure to go through DSA.

Central Avenue Laser Scanning Façade Survey

OVERVIEW
This project involved the documentation of the facades of historic buildings located along Central Avenue in downtown East Orange, NJ. Langan surveyors provided both traditional and 3D laser scanning services in support of the project. The use of 3D laser scanning made it possible to capture the many fine details of the structures, as well as provided a cost effective means of adding information to the elevation drawings. Any additional detail of the buildings that was needed after the initial submission was obtained from the 3D data without the need for additional field visits.

Coney Island Hospital Modernization

OVERVIEW
Langan provided comprehensive geotechnical and site/civil engineering services for the 7-story, 154,000-SF building addition as part of the hospital modernization program.  Demolition of existing structures, relocation of utility systems and site preparation was required such that an area large enough to accommodate the addition would be provided.  Additional site improvements included expanded parking facilities, design of therapeutic gardens/plazas, and streetscape enhancement. Our subsurface investigations determined that the building would need to be pile supported, and subsequent geotechnical engineering design recommendations identified the installation of an auger-cast pile foundation to be the most cost-effective.
