Westway Terminal Co. LLC broke ground today at the Port of Greater Baton Rouge on a $3.8 million expansion to its Port Allen facility.

 
Expansion plans include the construction of four 1 million-gallon bulk liquid storage tanks, which will expand the terminal’s capabilities by 25 percent.
 
Upon completion, the terminal will have 22 bulk liquid storage tanks with a total capacity of 21 million gallons.
 
“The project will generate 15-20 local construction jobs and add two full-time employees,” according to terminal manager Terry Fleming.
 
Engineering for the project was provided by Neel-Schaffer Engineering of Baton Rouge. Tank foundations will be constructed by Beard Construction Co. of Port Allen. Contractors for the expansion include Performance Contractors of Baton Rouge, providing piping and mechanical work for the project, and Pasadena Tanks Corp. of Houston for tank erection.
