Diamond D was awarded this project in 2021 which consisted of storm restoration/support for Entergy Distribution from Golden Meadow to Grand Isle, Louisiana. Work was performed day and night as our team installed mats to meet tight deadlines in the marsh with complex matting designs in order to hold heavy equipment in the soft terrain. The support provided by our team consisted of matting, foundation backfill, airboats, material transport, oversize load transportation, hydro excavation, and tug and barge for water transportation of heavy equipment and materials. Throughout the duration of the project, Diamond D has installed/removed 18,427 mats as well as accepted/installed 70,500 tons of limestone, riprap, and sand. Of major note, the team completed over 15 miles of complete distribution rebuild and hardening of the system with caissons.
