Fulfillment Center – Logan Township

OVERVIEW
Langan provided a variety of services for the design and construction of the fulfillment center located in Logan Township, New Jersey. Design services included layout of the one million-square foot distribution center along with 1,500± passenger vehicle parking stalls, a truck court, and modifications to existing stormwater management basins. The project posed several unique challenges, including frontage improvements, NJDEP Land Use permitting, a lack of sanitary sewer and water and a significant amount of coordination with the various regulatory agencies (Logan Township, NJDEP, NJAW, LTMUA, Gloucester County, USACE, Gloucester County Soil Conservation District, and Tidelands Bureau).

Matrix Business Park at 7A

OVERVIEW
Located just minutes from exit 7A of the New Jersey Turnpike, the Matrix Business Park has become prime real estate for the industrial/distribution market in New Jersey. Langan’s involvement with the Matrix Business Park at 7A began in 2005 with the design, permitting, and construction administration of an approximately 900,000-SF distribution center for KTR Capital Partners in the western portion of the park. Langan then designed and permitted three speculative facilities in the eastern portion of the park. Langan performed detailed site development design of the three additional facilities, totaling approximately 1.65-million-SF of floor space, and obtained the required entitlements from the Township, County, State, and local soil conservation district. To date, Langan is responsible for the design, permitting, and construction administration of five of the distribution facilities in the park totaling 2.8-million SF of floor space.

Sortation Center – Teterboro

OVERVIEW
Langan performed site/civil, traffic, geotechnical, and local permitting assistance for an existing facility located in Teterboro, New Jersey. The proposed development included interior building modifications to convert the existing facility to a sortation center with a delivery service component. The project required exterior site improvements, including the addition of loading docks and the reconfiguration of truck/car parking areas. Langan also went through extensive permitting with the NJDEP, as the entire site is located within the floodplain.

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.

Accurate Box

OVERVIEW
Accurate Box, one of the largest independent manufacturers of high-quality laminated packaging in the US, is a 73-year old family-owned business based in Paterson, NJ. Accurate Box called on Langan to help expand their headquarters to over 300,000 SF, so that they could continue to grow and increase much needed employment in the City of Paterson. Langan faced several technical challenges that required innovative approaches to resolving the unique conditions encountered during construction. Environmental considerations also increased the complexity of construction. A number of unanticipated underground storage tanks were identified, removed, and reported to the NJDEP.

Burlington Neck Warehouse Redevelopment

OVERVIEW
Langan helped engineer the redevelopment of the 130-acre former Hercules Burlington Plant, which ceased manufacturing operations in 1992, into four new warehouses totaling 1.69 million SF. The site required environmental remediation and is now capped with processed dredged material (PDM) under the supervision of NJDEP. Approximately 300,000 cubic yards of PDM were used to raise grades necessary for site development. With the help of Langan, a new stormwater management system design enabled preliminary “pad ready” construction to continue after a failed attempt to construct two wet ponds near the Delaware River.

KTR Warehouse Development

OVERVIEW
Langan developed a site layout to overcome several constraints and provide the maximum building square footage for the client. This resulted in an 111,300-SF building on the northern lot and an impressive 905,000-SF building on the southern lot. Design constraints included 15 acres of wetlands, an unstudied flood plain, a 16-inch diameter water main in the middle of the site, high voltage electric lines and associated easements, and close proximity to a residence. Langan performed a flood study and net fill calculations to obtain a NJDEP Stream Encroachment Permit. We also designed the site lighting and landscaped buffer behind the West Manor Way residence to address all of the property owner’s concerns.

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.

Matrix Global Logistics Park

OVERVIEW
Matrix is developing a logistics Park on the West Shore of Staten Island. The former Staten Island Marine Development (SIMD) property will have four industrial and distribution buildings, including a fulfillment center and a warehouse. Langan provided site/civil and geotechnical engineering, environmental planning services, and obtained the site development approvals. Because the site does not front on a NYCDEP sanitary sewer, our utility scope included design and NYSDOT, NYCDOT, NYCDEP, and NYSDEC approvals of a mile-long sanitary sewer force main, which lies under the West Shore Expressway and in a NYC street. Our geotechnical engineers compiled historic information, new investigations, and robust analysis to streamline the foundation approval process and reduce the time and expense of a full field investigation.

Fulfillment Center – Aurora

OVERVIEW
Langan provided site/civil and traffic engineering services for the design and construction of the fulfillment center in the Prologis Park 70 Distribution Park. Design services included layout of the 1,000,000 SF distribution center, 1,000 passenger-vehicle parking stalls, a truck court with 450 trailer parking stalls, and associated utility infrastructure improvements. Langan also prepared a traffic impact study for the developer and regulatory agencies. The tenant’s deadline for occupying the building resulted in a very tight project schedule for the design, permitting, and construction phases. Langan was able to quickly and efficiently prepare and deliver a site plan to the regulatory agencies, which approved the plans within the tight scheduling requirements.
