As Greenup continues to make progress on their portion of the West Shore Lake Pontchartrain Project (WSLPP), awarded to them in January 2020, they began a new project under the Greenup-Cajun JV, LLC. The new 96.3 million dollar fixed price contract is for the construction of hurricane protection features and levee and drainage canal relocation.
On the WSLPP Project, Greenup’s primary operations on the site have been excavating, processing, and stockpiling clay in two areas within the Bonnet Carre Spillway.
Construction Manager Steven Keen reported these updates:
Stockpile 1 - Production has increased to the point that Greenup has successfully excavated and stockpiled over 100,000 CY of clay in the designated stockpile location. They added a second crew in the Bonnet Carre Spillway borrow pit to accelerate production further. This project is scheduled to be complete in late 2022 or early 2023 based on weather and river conditions.
Stockpile 2 - Production has increased with the addition of additional equipment and Greenup has successfully stockpiled over 350,000 CY of clay from the Bonnet Carre borrow pit to the stockpile location, also in the Spillway. A second pit crew is being added to this project to further expedite production. The project is anticipated complete this summer.
