Barriere Construction Co . L . L . C .
Team effort
Of late , the company ’ s stellar reputation has seen it working to better the amenities and quality of life for fellow New Orleanians , as Jason concludes : “ Since 2020 , we have been working on the new taxi ways for the latest terminal at New Orleans airport , to extend its capabilities . Besides asphalt work , we have completed dirt and stonebased tasks and accumulated around $ 50 million ’ s worth of work in total , which is a pretty good size project for us . I ’ d also like to highlight the part we ’ ve played in carrying out the $ 2.4 billion budget , on behalf of
the city itself . A lot of this came from the federal funding that was acquired after Hurricane Katrina devasted the region . We ’ re currently working on four projects that include concrete , asphalt , excavation and utility work to repair the streets and bring the local infrastructure back to where it needs to be . On any given day , there ’ s at least ten Barriere crews , along with subcontractors , running all over like ants , it ’ s pretty neat to be a part of such an effort .” ■
