Offices
New OrleansGeolocation: 29.9493, -90.1834
With Terracon's offices in the surrounding geographic areas of New Orleans and our many years of work there for numerous clients that commanded our level of service, we made a decision to open a new office in the New Orleans metropolitan area in 2010. The area needed a national firm that brought quality and service to the design and construction industry, particularly in this time of enormous rebuilding and infrastructure improvement. We initially began our operations by providing construction materials engineering and testing on projects that stemmed from our national client base, governmental capabilities, and local firms. We have built solid relationships with local architects, designers, and contractors to facilitate the growth of a full service office. We currently offer geotechnical, environmental, construction materials engineering and testing, and facilities services.

Key Projects
LPV 109.02a, South Point to CSX RailroadGeolocation: 29.9647, -90.0706
Terracon provided Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) probes and geotechnical drilling services for new levee construction in Orleans Parish, La. The LPV 109.02a project consists of raising the levees from South Point to CSX Railroad to the 100 year design section.
Terracon's services are related to a portion of the construction scope that includes installation of prefabricated vertical drains (i.e., wick drains) to facilitate pore water drainage from consolidation of the underlying clays during the stage loading of the new levee embankment fill placement. A series of CPT probes are…
New Orleans LeveesGeolocation: 29.9544, -90.075
Terracon partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Omaha District in 2006, to provide advanced geotechnical exploration and testing capabilities for the USACE New Orleans District on a critical 23-mile phase of post-Hurricane Katrina levee improvements.
Terracon rapidly deployed a USACE-validated field laboratory outfitted with automated equipment for drained and undrained triaxial compression, unconfined compression, consolidation, and direct simple shear tests. The lab also ran miniature vane shear, organic content, and classification tests. Capable of extruding,…
Sempra Tank ExpansionGeolocation: 29.8994, -90.1004
Terracon provided construction materials engineering and testing services for the design-build project for the tank expansion at Magellan Midstream Partners Terminal Holding Facility in Marrero, La. The project involved construction of five new tanks. Terracon provided construction materials engineering and testing for ancillary site work like construction of T-walls surrounding the tanks and storm water pipe backfill
WBV-07, Planters Pump StationGeolocation: 30.0196, -90.1932
Terracon provided construction materials engineering and testing services for the planned upgrades to the Planters Pump Station and associated floodwalls located on the Algiers Canal near Belle Chasse, La. This project is part of a plan by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to improve the levee protection system around the New Orleans area. Terracon services included full-time vibration monitoring and pile driving monitoring. For the vibration monitoring services, Terracon submited a weekly report to USACE detailing any hits on seismographs.
