Langan Engineering and Environmental Services services

As an integral component of the design team, Langan develops conceptual site plans and establishes a well-defined roadmap to lead the project team through complex regulatory processes. Our practical, deadline-oriented professionals work diligently to meet submission deadlines, which in turn helps minimize delays associated with construction and occupancy, and ultimately loss of development revenue. Langan also supports the construction process with engineering oversight and project management.

Langan earned its reputation as a premier geotechnical consultant by managing hundreds of projects involving complex, technically challenging sites where highly specialized site preparation, foundations, and fast-track engineering solutions were required. We work closely with our clients and the design and construction team to engineer cost-effective geotechnical solutions appropriate for proposed structures and the governing site conditions.

When it comes to environmental solutions, all clients want to do the right thing, but they also need to know the right way. Langan truly partners with you as a technical and regulatory advocate. We work together with you to overcome complex scientific obstacles and guide you through complicated governmental policies so that you can achieve your objectives. Our success spans four decades, a testament to the longevity of our client relationships and our ability to provide innovative and integrated services for every type of environmental challenge. Put simply, it’s environmental advocacy, from initial investigation to final design, so that you can do the right thing… the right way.

Clients throughout California and other seismically active regions count on the seismic and ground motion services provided by Langan. Our engineers evaluate the potential for fault rupture, soil failure, and ground deformation to develop detailed site-specific ground motion criteria for seismic design.

Since Langan’s earliest days, we recognized that demolition is an important component in the overall site design process. Accordingly, we embrace a comprehensive design approach that integrates opportunities for cost and schedule savings during the demolition to avoid duplicating activities during the construction phases.

Langan’s transportation group includes a team of experts specializing in transportation planning and traffic engineering. Our staff has developed innovative solutions for prominent corridors, transit terminals, airports, highways, stadiums, as well as large- and small-scale developments of all types. We provide comprehensive system solutions that balance the needs of all users including vehicles, transit, and pedestrians/bicyclists. Langan is at the forefront of newly emerging fields in transportation, including: simulation models, traffic and revenue forecasts, intelligent transportation systems, complete streets, traffic calming, context sensitive design, multi-modal systems, smart growth and transit oriented development (TOD), progressive parking strategies, and sustainability metrics.

Langan’s survey group combines experience, technology, and responsiveness to meet our clients’ needs and maintain project schedules and budgets. The group is versed in traditional survey methods, as well as cutting-edge technologies including 3D Laser Scanning and BIM support. The group’s efforts are overseen by Professional Land Surveyors who bring experience and a solid knowledge of traditional methods to new types of innovative technology. Seamlessly coupled with Langan’s integrated technical disciplines, the group is positioned to meet every survey challenge.

Langan’s Information Management Group is comprised of a team of engineers, scientists, chemists, statisticians, and IT professionals trained to understand the technical and regulatory aspects of your projects as well as the software necessary to support them. We work closely with Langan’s core project teams to design information management solutions as a means of capturing, validating, storing, manipulating, and analyzing data and information efficiently and economically throughout a project lifecycle. These information management solutions include developing project specific workflows as well as developing and customizing desktop, web and mobile software applications to meet the demands of the project team.

People – we connect people with the places we build, believing that every project should be an expression of attitudes that respond to social, economic and environmental conditions. Layers – we develop design solutions that are guided by patterns found on every site, bringing them to reality through our powerful collaborative approach to the challenges of land development. Places – we enhance the “sense of place” found on every site, molding that story to fit a variety of scales ranging from regional and city context to intimate courtyards and gardens.
