The peak of the Atlantic season is typically from mid-August until mid-October. Greenup Industries continues its work on the Hurricane Protection project in Plaquemines Parish, to keep residents safe. Here is an update:
This massive Hurricane Flood Risk Reduction project continues to steam ahead in spite of
frequent afternoon rains. We have constructed over 50% of the concrete Floodwall portion of the project and over 98% of the Sluice Gate Drainage structure.
In support of those structures, we have driven over 9,500 Linear Feet (LF) of steel sheet piles for seepage cut-off, and driven over 10,000 LF of Steel Pipe Piles for structural stability. In addition to that work, we have placed and compacted over 1.5 million cubic yards of clay for earthenlevee.This project continues to stay ahead of the required completion date of December 2026 and should be completed late summer of 2026.
Greenup Cajun JV, LLC is a joint venture partnership that features the skills and experience of Greenup Industries (Greenup) and Cajun Industries, LLC, based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The company's scope of work includes excavating, processing, and stockpiling clay material and other work within the Bonnet Carre Spillway. The US Army Corps of Engineers reported that levee construction is expected to require 7 million to 9 million cubic yards of clay material.
