COLUMBUS MAGNET SCHOOLhttp://www.langan.com/portfolio/columbus-magnet-school/

Location: Norwalk‚ CT

Client: JCJ Architecture

Architect: JCJ Architecture

Services: Geotechnical‚ Site/Civil‚ Surveying/Geospatial‚ Traffic &

Transportation

OVERVIEW

The city of Norwalk is currently securing approvals from CTDEEP to utilize a portion of the Springwood Park for

the new Columbus School‚ a 66‚000-SF‚ 480 student intra-district magnet school with a multi-purpose field‚ which

will replace the existing Columbus School‚ located nearby. Langan provided engineering and land use permitting

services to support project development and obtain necessary local and state approvals. Our team consulted with

the project's Landscape Architect regarding site layout‚ circulation and grading. Langan also provided survey

services‚ including coordinating with a soil scientist to delineate the wetlands and preparing supporting materials

detailing proposed mitigation measures to assist in receiving local Inland Wetlands and Watercourse Agency

approval for the project. Additionally‚ we worked with the City of Norwalk to prepare mapping necessary for the

land-swap associated with the relocation of Springwood Park to accommodate the new school and the City's

purchase of two additional properties in the northern portion of the site.


MANHATTAN WATERFRONT GREENWAY - HARLEM RIVERhttp://www.langan.com/portfolio/manhattan-waterfront-greenway-harlem-river/

Location: New York‚ NY

Client: New York City Economic Development Corporation

Partner: Starr Whitehouse Landscape Architects‚ Indigo River‚ One

Architects

OVERVIEW

The $180M Manhattan Greenway - Harlem River project involves the assessment of and design of structural

repairs and reconstruction of over four miles of Harlem River bulkhead from East 125th Street to East 145th

Street and East 155th Street to Swindler Cove. In addition‚ the project involves the design of a waterfront

esplanade and park to connect and extend a continuous greenway across seven blocks along the Harlem River

between East 125th and East 132nd Streets. Langan will be leading detailed site investigations that include

boat-mounted laser scans of the bulkhead tied into upland surveys and extensive engineer-diver inspections.


VARIO REDEVELOPMENThttp://www.langan.com/portfolio/brighton-boulevard/

Location: Denver‚ CO

Client: AECOM Capital

Architect: OZ Architecture

Services: Geotechnical‚ Environmental

OVERVIEW

Langan provided geotechnical and environmental engineering due diligence review services for proposed

2900-3060 Brighton Boulevard mixed-use redevelopment‚ Vario. The redevelopment of is part of a larger

development of the rapidly growing section of Denver‚ Colorado known as River North Art District (RiNo). The

redevelopment includes new construction‚ as well as renovations to several buildings. The project site consists of

two adjacent parcels totaling approximately 7.8 acres. New construction will include over 400 apartments‚ nearly

100‚000 SF of office space and 30‚000 SF of retail space.


USCIENCES - 1ST YEAR RESIDENCE HALLhttp://www.langan.com/portfolio/usciences-1st-year-residence-hall/

Location: Philadelphia‚ PA

Client: Design Collective Inc.‚ University of Sciences ‚ Campus

Apartments

Architect: Design Collective

Services: Site/Civil‚ Surveying/Geospatial

OVERVIEW

To better meet the needs of its students‚ University of the Sciences constructed a new‚ 126‚000 SF mixed-use

residence hall on the University's main campus in the University City area of Philadelphia. The 426-bed residence

hall for first-year (U1) students is a live-learn community that incorporates numerous sustainable features to

achieve Green Globe certification. To facilitate this new development‚ Langan provided site/civil engineering

design of the open-air plaza and street-scape on the neighboring streets and spearheaded the land development

permitting process with the City of Philadelphia agencies. The tight urban site‚ combined with substantial grade

changes around the property‚ created complexity for this project; especially with respect to the stormwater

management and ADA accessible design.


NEWARK LIBERTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - CONRAChttp://www.langan.com/portfolio/newark-liberty-international-airport-conrac/

Location: Newark‚ NJ

Client: PGAL

Services: Geotechnical‚ Environmental

OVERVIEW

A Consolidated Rent-A-Car (ConRAC) will be constructed as part of the Terminal One Redevelopment program at

Newark Liberty International Airport. The new facility will have a footprint of 700‚000 SF and include six levels of

combined public parking and rental car operations‚ as well as a pedestrian connection to the adjacent AirTrain

station. Langan is providing geotechnical and environmental engineering services to assist in evaluation of the

project feasibility. Our geotechnical engineering services included development of a subsurface investigation

program and preparation of a geotechnical report for the facility‚ including foundation design recommendations

and seismic design parameters. Langan's environmental services included development of an environmental

sampling and testing program to support project estimates related to handling and disposal of soil and

groundwater during construction.


ALAMEDA POINT - BUILDINGS 9 AND 91http://www.langan.com/portfolio/alameda-point-buildings-9-and-91/

Location: Alameda‚ CA

Client: srmErnst Development Partners

Architect: FORGE Architecture

Partner: Building 9 - Tipping Structural Engineers and Millie and

Severson Inc.‚ Building 91 - Holmes Structures and McNely

Construction Company

Services: Geotechnical

OVERVIEW

When the Naval Air Station closed in 1997‚ the US Navy transferred over 500 acres to the City of Alameda. Most

of Alameda Point has since been placed on the National Register of Historic Places and this area is now one of

California's largest historic districts. Buildings 9 and 91 are the first to be readapted for reuse. Langan conducted

a subsurface investigation at Alameda Point. Selecting appropriate foundations for planned improvements at both

buildings was critical given the presence of liquefiable soil and weak‚ highly compressible Bay Mud. Langan

recommended a micropile foundation design to support a new mezzanine within the 96‚000-SF steel-framed

Building 9‚ which is supported on composite concrete and timber piles with a slab-on-grade floor that had settled

several inches over time. The 51‚000-SF Building 91‚ which is a wood-framed warehouse supported on spread

footings‚ was strengthened to resist seismic loads with new shear walls or moment frames.
