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.

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.

Elizabeth Logistics Center

OVERVIEW
To meet demand for warehousing close to the Port of Elizabeth, Langan obtained approvals for a new 290,400-SF warehouse development. The new development is conveniently located south of Newark Airport and just off exit 13A of the New Jersey Turnpike. The site design was challenging because of many limitations ranging from soil conditions to regulatory requirements. Langan obtained Site Plan approval from the City of Elizabeth, which required a use variance and parking variance. The zoning required 900 parking spaces whereas a variance for 140, much closer to the anticipated need, was approved. A Stream Encroachment Permit and a Freshwater Wetlands Permit were obtained from NJDEP. A stream study using Hec-Ras was performed to obtain the NJDEP approvals. Soil Erosion and Sediment Control approval was also obtained.

2505 Bruckner Boulevard

OVERVIEW
2505 Bruckner is a state-of-the-art urban logistics facility that delivers access to over 9.4 million people in a 15-mile radius. The 2-story warehouse is 840,000 SF with an adjacent 40,000-SF parking garage and 159,000-SF elevated truck court structure. Langan performed a geotechnical subsurface investigation consisting of drilled and cone probe borings that satisfied the New York City Building Code (NYCBC) and provided valuable soil and rock information for foundation design on this challenging site. Langan engaged in foundation and site/civil design efforts with the project design team and worked through significant coordination challenges. Langan also performed a site-specific seismic study for the site to assist the structural engineer with foundation design. The project required significant permitting efforts with various regulatory agencies, including the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), New York City Department of Buildings (NYCDOB), New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and others.
