The $127-million Cypress Park High School is among the largest public schools in the Houston area.

Crews broke ground in February 2014 to expand Phillips 66’s storage and ship loading capacity for natural gasoline, butane and propane exports at its Freeport facility.

Within about two years, construction teams successfully retrofitted an existing power-generation station into the world’s largest post-combustion carbon-capture facility to be installed on an existing coal-fueled power plant.

Dow’s Crack More Ethane project sought to increase the ethane cracking capacity at the site’s LHC 3 unit by nearly 25% while maintaining flexibility to switch propane feedstock.

Renovations and new construction were included in the scope of this $31-million project on the Witte Museum campus, which was established in 1926 along the banks of the San Antonio River.

General contractor Jordan Foster Construction will break ground on a $60 million reconstruction project next month on SH 130 to fix pavement problems and improve ride quality along the 41-mile roadway.

By 2027, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts the road that keeps 16 % of the nation’s oil and gas production operational will flood so often it will have to be closed more than 30 days a year.

In a move that likely will be repeated by dozens of coastal communities over the next century, the Isle de Jean Charles band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw Indians has decided to move from their home of more than 200 years before it erodes away.
