Langan helped the client improve the organization of its data to make more informed decisions about complex pump and treatment systems. The challenge was integrating vast amounts of process data and conventional site investigation data, both old and new. We solved this issue by consolidating data from sensors, analytical lab data, and field data collected through a specialized app into a centralized repository and dashboard. This Operations and Maintenance project benefited from a comprehensive data management solution aimed at collecting, managing, analyzing, reporting, and visualizing information.

Langan helped Bristol Myers Squibb build-out its GIS-based asset management platform by converting existing utility information from AutoCAD to GIS and hosting the converted data on Esri’s ArcGIS Online platform. These updates enable Bristol Myers Squibb to maintain utilities through GIS and review and update information from the field via mobile tablets and ArcGIS Field Maps. Langan supported this transition by surveying three initial critical utilities to provide updated locations for the GIS database, and capturing photographs of above-grade assets.

Converge Miami provides office and laboratory space where companies can collaborate with UM researchers, making it easier to turn scientific discoveries into commercial products. The 1.4-million SF research and development campus includes multiple mid-rise buildings and associated parking structures. Langan prepared paving, grading, and drainage plans to expand the surface parking field and obtained a required Drainage Connection Permit from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) because the project abuts an FDOT-operated roadway. We also performed a geotechnical exploration to evaluate the subsurface conditions, spearheaded the pile load test program, and conducted earthwork monitoring and testing, which was complicated by environmental impacts in the soil and groundwater. Our detailed evaluation of excavated materials allowed for the reuse of materials as structural fill and pavement base course. This avoided the need for imported fill, resulting in considerable cost savings.
