HOUSTON—The Port of Houston Authority is a 25-mile-long complex of 150-plus private and public industrial terminals along the 52-mile-long Houston Ship Channel and is consistently ranked first in the United States in foreign waterborne tonnage. A modernization project is currently underway at the port which will expand the facility.

McCarthy Building Companies Inc. is constructing three major projects there, including Bayport Wharf 2, Container Yard One and East End at Barbours Cut Terminal, and Barbours Cut Wharf 2 rehabilitation project. This brings McCarthy’s current work with the port to approximately $121.6 million in construction costs.

“McCarthy is proud of our long-standing partnership with the Port of Houston Authority, one of the premier ports in the country,” said McCarthy’s senior vice president of civil operations, Kurt Knebel. “Since 1991, the Port of Houston has relied on McCarthy’s ability to construct complex marine projects on schedule. We look forward to once again delivering these three important modernization projects on time and on budget.”
