NEW IBERIA, LA (AP) — Two fabrication companies say they have been awarded multiple projects that will put hundreds of people to work at the Port of Iberia.
The Advocate’s Billy Gunn reports Dynamic Energy Services International President Emile Dumesnil told port officials Tuesday that Sasol Ltd. has awarded Dynamic fabrication parts of its $8 billion ethane cracker project being built in Lake Charles.
Dumesnil says Dynamic is testing welders at its east yard at the Port of Iberia for work that by early 2016 should put 300 of all crafts to work.
He says the Sasol components will be barged to Lake Charles.
Dynamic's second project will be piping for the deepwater Shell Appomattox project.
RamFab, a company new to the Port of Iberia, also has been awarded part of the Sasol ethane cracker project.
