The Garyville Major Expansion (GME) project remains on track. Construction began in March 2007, and the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2009. The GME project will provide significant benefits to the local and state economy, and Marathon is committed to providing opportunities for local contractors, suppliers and vendors to participate in all phases of the project.
Leading the project management for the $3.2 billion expansion is Fluor Corp. of Irving, Texas, along with Louisiana-based Shaw Stone & Webster. They will be providing engineering and procurement services for the project.
Other GME construction contractors include Performance Contractors and Turner Industries for steel erection and mechanical work; Industrial Specialty Contractors and Excel Contractors for electrical and instrumentation work; Chicago Bridge & Iron for tank construction; and Cajun Constructors Inc. and James Construction Group for site work, pile driving and concrete foundations. Additional local contractors and suppliers are expected to be selected later this year as the project progresses.
