Methanex G-1 & G-2 Relocation

GEISMAR, LA
GEISMAR, LA

This grassroots EPC project involved the relocation of two methanol plants from Chile to Geismar, LA. Cajun was responsible for all infrastructure for the relocations. The scope included site work, underground piping, catch basins, manholes, road work, underground drainage, underground electrical work, sheet pile installation and concrete foundations below grade, at grade and above grade.

Accomplishments

Cajun’s initial contract was for the Geismar 1 Relocation. Due to high-quality workmanship and a pristine safety record, we were also awarded work for the Geismar 2 Relocation.
