Construction & Industrial Service Businesses in Southeast Texas

The scale of industrial construction activity in Southeast Texas is difficult to overstate. Since 2010, the region has attracted over $84 billion in current and long-term investment, with projects spanning refinery expansions, new ethane crackers, LNG export terminals, and port infrastructure. Single projects like the TotalEnergies/Borealis ethane cracker in Port Arthur and the Golden Pass LNG terminal represent years of construction activity employing thousands of workers.

For construction and industrial service companies — whether general contractors, specialty subcontractors, scaffold rental, equipment supply, NDT inspection, safety consulting, environmental services, or workforce staffing — Southeast Texas is one of the most active markets in the country. Turnaround season brings waves of contract workers; major capital projects run for years; and the port expansion and waterway deepening project will generate significant construction employment for the foreseeable future.
