Southern Services & Equipment - Saint Bernard, LA

SSE is working on different contracts under several different contractors at the construction of the new North Terminal of the Louis Armstrong International Airport this year. SSE fabricated and erected the structural steel frame for the Central Utility Plant (both Building A and Building B), as well as an large auxiliary cooling tower. SSE also fabricated all the of the structural steel pipe embeds for the main terminal. SSE is providing welders on site to assist in the erection of the newest concourse, Concourse A. Additionally, SSE fabricated 2000 baggage handler steel supports for Pteris Global, one of the leading providers of airport baggage handling equipment, for the airport’s complex baggage and material handling system. 

Later in the project, SSE will also fabricate and erect all of the structural steel framing for the Blue Water/Taxi Building, one of the ancillary buildings on the campus of the new terminal. SSE is proud to be one of the local companies helping to complete this monumental project, which will be used by people around the world for decades to come.

SSE completed working at the old Dixie Brewery building, which will be used as the Research Center for the new Southeast Louisiana Veterans Medical Center (also known as the new VA Hospital). Our team worked to retrofit the facility by installing new beams to support the old support system. 

SSE crafted and installed this beautiful glass and stainless steel guardrail in the Hot Tin Bar, the jewel in the crown of the newly-renovated Pontchartrain Hotel. The rooftop lounge boasts a breathtaking 270-degree view of the Mississippi River and downtown New Orleans.

The multi-phase Iberville Onsite redevelopment transforms the 23-acre Iberville Public Housing Development, built in 1942 and located adjacent to New Orleans’ famous French Quarter, into a vibrant, mixed-use, mixed-income community. The redevelopment of the Iberville site, including the reintroduction of the street grid and construction of new utilities and public rights of way throughout the site, significantly contributes to the revitalization of a large portion of the City of New Orleans: the Iberville/Tremé neighborhood. SSE is fabricating and installing awnings, handrails, guardrails, and bollards for the project.
