AMECO announced it is expanding with an operations center in greater Baton Rouge.

Located in Prairieville, the facility provides a geographic hub to increase support of capital construction, operations and maintenance, shutdown and turnaround and disaster relief efforts to owners and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors.

AMECO said it is now even better positioned to support projects along the entire Gulf Coast, bracketed by existing operations in Texas and the new location in southern Louisiana.

This expansion comes as AMECO is celebrating its 75th year in the industry, applying construction support expertise, historical project information, system generated intelligence, and a human touch to improve project execution.

This approach results in reduced site labor requirements, lower overall project cost, schedule certainty, and enhanced site safety.

AMECO said is currently pursuing work on capital construction projects worth $12 billion in total installed cost (TIC) from the new facility, a combined 8,000 square feet of office and warehouse space positioned on 6.5 acres. 

Customizable Site Services and Site Solutions packages delivered to customer sites include:

• Pre-construction planning

• Managed fleet services

• Sitewide services, such as ice and water, fueling and communications

• Mobile asset solutions, such as vehicles, construction equipment and specialty rentals

• Integrated Scaffolding solutions

• Site tool and supply solutions

• Site health, safety and environmental (HSE) solutions

“As a site services company, AMECO goes onsite to support projects across North America, and with the density and rapid growth of projects in the oil and gas, energy and chemicals industries in Louisiana, having a dedicated base of operations in the heart of the region enables us to mobilize quickly to support our clients in the Gulf Coast,” said AMECO VP of Operations Morgan Tiller.  

AMECO will celebrate the grand opening with community partners, clients and suppliers at a private ribbon cutting ceremony at the AMECO operations center, which is located at 15089 Airline Highway in Prairieville, on March 10.
