LANGAN <br />SERVICES: <br />• Subsurface Investigation <br />• Geotechnical Engineering <br />• Foundation <br />Recommendation /Design <br />• Construction Engineering <br />Inspection & Testing <br />• Site Preparation Specifications <br />LOCATION: <br />Hallandale, Florida <br />CLIENT: <br />Diplomat Properties, L.P. <br />ARCHITECT: <br />Sandy & Babcock Architects <br />DIPLOMAT RESORT & COUNTRY CLUB <br />The Diplomat Resort and Country Club is a 5 -Story gulf resort <br />located in Hallandale, Florida overlooking the Intracoastal <br />Waterway and its golf course. Surrounding the hotel are one <br />to two story buildings, including a clubhouse, spa, and pro - <br />shop, a subterranean maintenance level and other resort <br />amenities. <br />Substantial raising of grades by 8ft to 10ft within highly <br />compressible ground conditions would have proven to be a <br />continual maintenance problem if the structure was supported <br />on pile foundations as required by the local Hallandale City <br />Building Ordinance. Langan's involvement and discussion <br />with the city allowed the structures and surrounding critical <br />on -grade features to be supported on shallow foundations <br />after removal of organic compressible material and backfilling <br />with granular fill material. <br />Other resort amenities including tennis courts, etc. and <br />parking area /access roadways were preloaded to minimize <br />post- construction settlements and prevent the need for a <br />continual maintenance program. <br />23 <br />
