Master plan engineering studies provide developer clients with a 30,000-foot view of the project’s existing and proposed site conditions during the land planning phase. This “roadmap” guides future multi-year phases of these typically large land development projects, often several hundred and sometimes thousands of hectares in size. Prematurely proceeding with construction of initial phases without examining the project’s global infrastructure demands will result in costly future reconstruction, inefficiencies, or even loss of the project’s full potential.

Following the selection of a land parcel, and completion of a market study the master engineer works in concert with the land planner to prepare a preliminary master land plan. During this collaborative process, the master plan engineer assists the developer and land planner in validating and refining the master land plan prior to beginning detailed construction plans for the project.

At Langan, we focus on major categories of site engineering and environmental services relevant to master-planned land development projects and their necessary infrastructure:

SANTA MARIA GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB – REPUBLIC OF PANAMA SERVICES: • Geotechnical Investigation • Site/ Civil Engineering • Stormwater Management Design • Utility Design and Coordination • Regulatory Permitting Coordination • Offsite Roadway Improvements

Design • Wastewater Treatment Plant

Design • Hydrologic River Flood Modeling • Bridge Design LOCATION: Panama City, Republic of Panama CLIENT: Santa Maria Golf & Country Club STRATEGIC PARTNERS: EDSA

The Santa Maria Golf & Country Club is a high-end mixed use development located on a 283-hectare site along the Corredor Sur highway. This upscale mixed-use development will include 400 single family residential lots, 3,300 high-density residential units, 450 medium-density residential units, an 18-hole Nicklaus Design golf course, 9,300 square meters of retail and restaurant space, and indoor and outdoor recreation areas. The project site is an existing wetland and marsh with some freshwater mangroves with ground elevations that become inundated from the adjacent Juan Diaz River during extreme rainfall events. The site is underlain by six to ten meters of very compressible clay. Langan’s site/civil services include the preparation of conceptual site design plan, design development drawings, grading and drainage plans, water system and sanitary system plans in addition to detailed hydrologic and hydraulic evaluation of the drainage system. Langan has coordinated with multiple local consultants who prepared initial background studies for the development. The wastewater conveyance system consists of approximately 6,100 meters of gravity sewer. Nine wastewater pump stations ranging from 0.01 MGD to 1.25 MGD were required due to the topography and the layout of the waterways with access bridges. Approximately 6,100 meters of force mains conveyed the wastewater to the treatment facility which provided beneficial re-use effluent water for the golf course irrigation. Over ten million cubic meters of imported fill are required to raise the site above the anticipated 100-year flood elevations for the adjacent river. This monumental filling activity over very soft clay materials created a major site improvement issue for the client. Langan’s geotechnical engineers evaluated and recommended innovative ground improvement measures to counter the over one meter of settlement anticipated to occur from the four to five meters of imported design fill on top of the compressible clay.

COYOL FREE ZONE & BUSINESS PARK – COSTA RICA SERVICES: • Geotechnical Peer Review • Foundation Recommendations • Soil Stabilization Study • Ground Improvement Design • Earthwork Balancing Plan LOCATION: Alajuela, Costa Rica CLIENT: Coyol Free Zone & Business Park

Coyol Free Zone & Business Park is a light industrial business park development located on approximately 100 hectares of land near Alajuela (a few miles west of San Jose International Airport), Costa Rica. Langan’s services began with peer review of existing geotechnical studies that recommended the removal and exporting of more than four meters of surficial highly plastic clay and replacement with imported crushed stone backfill. Our initial review and field investigation provided a recommendation to reduce the removal to only 2 to 2 ½ meters while still achieving the foundation support and settlement criteria, resulting in significant immediate savings on earthwork costs. Construction of the next phase of mega-warehouse development proceeded with our recommendations and the structure foundations performed as expected, showing stability and no noticeable settlement. We then proceeded with a more rigorous geotechnical evaluation and test program to chemically stabilize the on-site soils using lime, ultimately eliminating the need to export the highly plastic clays or import costly crushed stone. Once implemented on subsequent phases, our recommendations will result in hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars of savings over the life of the development. Langan prepared a mass earthwork balancing plan utilizing the geotechnical ground improvement recommendations. The earthwork balancing plan provides an optimized approach to the overall project’s long-term grading requirements based on least construction cost.

VACAMONTE – REPUBLIC OF PANAMA SERVICES: • Master Site Plan Design • Master Grading Design • Earthwork Optimization LOCATION: Vacamonte, Republic of Panama CLIENT: Provivienda

The Vacamonte project is a low to middle income residential community and will be developed on 330 hectares about 20 km from Panama City. The project is proposed to be divided into about 10 macro-lotes, which will be developed as separate neighborhoods. Langan prepared three master site layout and grading plans for the overall property with between 10 and 13 macro-lotes and the main internal collector “circumvalcion” roadway. A variety of macro-lote and circumvalacion roadway layouts were considered and analyzed. Langan utilized our grading expertise and multiple grading design software applications to design the grading and earthwork for the overall master-planned project. Our sophisticated master grading design provided the developer with three different theoretically balanced earthwork plans that were optimized for least construction cost, while considering other technical or fixed project constraints. Individual parcel cut and fill volumes were summarized to assist the developer with phasing of the construction to efficiently balance the market demand versus the infrastructure cost.
