Roll Group has expanded its US operations with a project office and yard in Saint Gabriel, Louisiana.
The facility features a 2,160 sq ft (200.7 sq m) office and 3 acres (1.2 ha) of laydown/storage area, with access to an additional 5 acres (2 ha) for storage and maintenance operations.
With immediate access to key industrial corridors throughout Louisiana and along the Mississippi River, the location places Roll Group in closer proximity to ongoing and upcoming operations enabling faster mobilisation and more efficient service delivery across the region.
According to Roll Group, the expansion solidifies its commitment to serving the Gulf Coast with fully integrated engineered heavy lift and project logistics services – and to a growing client base in the energy, petrochemical, infrastructure, and industrial construction sectors.
The US petroleum industry between Lake Charles and New Orleans is a key driver of demand for safe, reliable, and innovative engineered transport and lifting services, the company added. By establishing a permanent office in the region, Roll Group is well-positioned to provide turnkey solutions that combine land-based heavy haulage with marine transport, reducing project complexity and risk for its clients.
“We’ve always strived to serve the market, as 10 percent of the petroleum industry lies between Lake Charles and New Orleans,” said Gary Summers, who has 45 years of industry experience and has been with Roll Group since the company’s US launch over a decade ago. “Now we’re not only serving the market, we’re local. We can be part of the community, part of the culture. We’re glad to be here and look forward to bigger and better things in Louisiana.”
Michael Crawford, Louisiana commercial manager, added: “This office opens up more opportunities and territory for Roll Group to grow and succeed. It puts us in a whole new category… The work is out there - it’s tremendous. Being local allows us to respond faster and work more efficiently with clients on the ground.”
