SOLAR ENERGY
Langan has been providing solar energy expertise to clients across the country for over 10 years. Due to the nature of solar funding programs and their fast-paced schedules, Langan has been challenged with providing high quality deliverables under tight deadlines. To meet these challenges, Langan provides a full array of multi-disciplinary services creating a seamless line of work through all project phases.
BATTERY STORAGE
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming a viable energy storage option in the renewable market and the need for the development of more facilities and related infrastructure of this type continues to grow. Langan’s multidisciplinary services provide solutions to common site issues, including stormwater management, flood resiliency, and noise mitigation.
WIND ENERGY
As coastal states align their clean energy initiatives with Offshore Wind, significant investment in offshore and onshore infrastructure is required to reinvent the generation and transmission portfolio. As the historical transmission grid was designed point to point with large generation sources transmitting power to local load centers, almost entirely outside of the major cities, and compounded by much of this infrastructure being more than 50 years old, the transmission grid requires significant investment and grid resiliency. Langan is poised to utilize their multi-service offerings in the transmission market to be first-movers in helping to advance these projects.
BIOGAS/RNG
Langan plays a key role in the Biogas recovery process by supporting energy firms actively developing RNG facilities. Langan is lending our expertise to the permitting processes that may be required at the local, state, and federal levels and has been providing integrated services to support facility design across the country.
EV CHARGING
Langan continues to be part of creatively repurposing existing retail, residential, mixed-use, entertainment, institutional, and specifically designated parking sites, incorporating new uses and amenities such as electric vehicle (EV) charging station infrastructure. Langan’s electric vehicle charging station client base is growing exponentially, and our reach and resources position the firm to support these development projects from coast to coast.

On/Offshore Wind
Multiple locations along the East Coast
Langan provides engineering and environmental services to wind clients in support of the transmission of energy generated by offshore wind farms. Our teams address issues from feasibility, permitting, and entitlements, to construction documents and infrastructure design. Offering a one-stop-shop, Langan is an efficient choice of consultant, often leading to a simplified communication and coordination process.
Services Provided:
Surveying, Permitting & Entitlements, Geotechnical, Environmental, Site/Civil, Traffic & Transportation
Biomass facilities
Renewable Natural Gas Site
Midwest, US
Biogas recovery systems at farm or livestock operations can be used to produce renewable natural gas (RNG). The manure is gathered and brought to an anaerobic digester to stabilize and optimize methane production. The resulting biogas can be treated and converted into RNG. The RNG can then be used to fuel natural gas vehicles, along with other purposes. In support of these projects, Langan is assisting with the review of potential permits that may be required at the local, state, and federal levels. We then review the anticipated permit timelines to determine the most critical permits to the schedule. Our team also utilizes GIS-based mapping to assist with the permit evaluation process.

Cypress Creek Renewables (CCR)
Various Locations Nationwide
Langan is currently providing site/civil engineering for over 30 of CCR’s 2-megawatt solar sites in New York State and the Dunroamin site in Massachusetts. Local solar farms, like the ones in New York State, benefit the environment, community, and nearby residences. Langan prepared full design drawings and stormwater management reports to support the site plan application to the respective Zoning and Planning Boards for each project. These drawings included site layout, grading and drainage, soil erosion and sediment control, and landscaping plans. Langan provided high-quality deliverables on difficult sites under fast-paced schedules due to the nature of solar funding programs. Considering the complexity of the sites, Langan quickly adapted to scope changes made to meet CCR’s needs and successfully maintained the desired schedule for each project.

Battery storage
New York Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
New York
Langan is providing multi-discipline engineering services to Savion for multiple battery energy storage facility projects. The projects range from 13KV to 138KV interconnections, which equates to 80 MWAC to 300 MWAC. Langan’s site/civil engineering services include laying out the BESS containers and electrical appurtenances, preparing conceptual plans for discussion with the municipalities, and preparing 30% Issue for Bid plans to obtain EPC pricing. The geotechnical engineering services include performing a preliminary subsurface exploration and providing earthwork, drainage, and foundation recommendations based on the subsurface soils. Langan is also providing boundary and topographic ALTA surveys.

Community Choice Aggregation
GIS Support Services
Los Angeles, CA
Langan developed an internal and external mapping web application for a Community Choice Aggregation client in California. The application validates renewable project development eligibility and provides the client with self-service capabilities for general GIS tasks.
Initially, Langan provided a needs assessment of the current data sources and internal IT infrastructure needs, including any workflows in the web tool functionality that needed to be considered. This assessment included interviewing stakeholders to determine and establish expectations, key use cases, and desired results from personnel.
Langan developed the internal and external GIS Web Applications, utilizing solutions from Esri such as ArcGIS Hub, Web AppBuilder, ArcGIS Instant Apps, and ArcGIS Experience Builder. The various applications serve as a landing page to house its mapping layers and various web applications.
