McCarthy Completes Barbours Cut Terminal Container Yard 3N

McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. has completed construction on the Barbours Cut Terminal Container Yard 3N for the Port Houston Authority in Houston, Texas. The project is part of a modernization program to increase cargo handling efficiency. The container yard adds approximately 10 acres of new shipping container storage at the terminal complex.

The company was tasked with a rehabilitation of the existing site which included new utility upgrades, new high-mast light poles and a realignment of the main interterminal access road through this area. Work began in June 2021 and achieved substantial completion two months ahead of schedule.

The container yard required 47,000 square yards of pavement demolition. The project involved bringing in 23,500 cubic yards of concrete pavement and 32,000 cubic yards of base and subbase materials. Over 5,000 linear feet of utilities were installed, including 1,800 linear feet of ductile iron water lines, 1,800 linear feet of precast trench drains, 950 liner feet of cast-in-place electrical duct banks and 450 linear feet of pressurized sanitary sewer lines.
