Cajun’s scope included a new processing unit from the anchor bolts down, which involved a variety of civil disciplines and scope activities such as excavation, piling, backfill, foundations construction, sump construction and paving. We constructed two concrete drainage structures with each measuring 850 foot long and 3 foot deep, all plant roadways, and a half-mile of a new railroad to the property entrance from the existing KCS mainline. This project also included two major sumps 16 foot below grade, foundations for the new rail line and a tank foundation for the green diesel storage.
