In mid-December, Bobcat will start the construction of our new natural gas storage facility in Port Barre, Louisiana. Bobcat has selected the contractor for the civil work on our project. Sunland Construction, from Eunice, will be our general contractor for the construction of our leaching plant. Bobcat will start construction slowly by building and reinforcing roads and building the matted drilling pad at our main project site off Highway 190. At this time, the traffic will mostly be limited to Highway 190 although some trucks may use alternative routes from time to time.
Here is what you can expect to see and hear during the month of December:
Trucks carrying rock to the project site
Trucks carrying various building materials (for the timber pad) to the project site
Some pounding sounds while we drive the timber piles for the pad. This sound should be minimal; limited to the area surrounding the project site and should not extend into the town of Port Barre
