St. Louis-based McCarthy Building Companies has announced it has been awarded three port construction projects at sites on the Houston Ship Channel. Two of the three contracts, which total $99 million, are for Port Houston Authority. The Port Houston projects include Wharf 6 at the Bayport Terminal and Container Yard 3N at the Barbours Cut Terminal.
The third contract is to build a barge dock for a private petrochemical company.
“We are very pleased to continue our more than 25-year working relationship with the Port Houston Authority and assist them in modernizing the port, and we are happy to have earned the trust of a new client,” said Fitz O’Donnel, vice president of marine/industrial for McCarthy’s southern region. “Our vast experience and ability to self-perform work provides us a great basis for successful and on-time completions.”
