Historic Louisiana

MMR Group also worked with Duke Fluor
Daniel on the Odessa Ector Natural Gas Fired
Power Plant for Texas Independent Energy.
Total plant output will be 1,000 megawatts on
completion. At peak construction MMR has
180 employees on the project. Time on this job
exceeded 200,000 hours.
In the realm of chemicals and
petrochemicals, MMR Group can take credit for
completed projects at oil refineries for Royal
Dutch Shell in Map ta Phut, Thailand; Coastal
Aruba in San Nicolas, Aruba; and
PDVSA/Maraven in Punto Fijo, Venezuela. A gas
processing project for Williams International in
El Furrial, Venezuela, and air separation projects
for Praxair in McIntosh, Alabama, and Air
Liquide in Geismar, Louisiana, are also reasons
for MMR Group to take pride.
In work for the pulp and paper industry,
MMR Group completed work at a plywood
plant for Martco in Chopin, Louisiana; a paper
mill for Procter & Gamble in Cape Girardeau,
Missouri; and a paper machine for Liberty Paper
in Beckeer, Minnesota.
MMR Group work in oil and gas production
and exploration included fabrication on
production modules for Shell de Venezuela, S.A.
on Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela; fabrication in
New Iberia, Louisiana for a hook-up in Nigeria
for Mobil USARI Development; and work on the
Shell Spirit Platform in New Iberia, Louisiana,
for hook-up in the Gulf of Mexico. MMR also
performed the electrical and instrumentation
work on ExxonMobil’s record-breaking Deep
Draft Caisson Vessel, Hoover Diana.
MMR Group was also responsible for the
electrical and instrumentation installation on the
mammoth Pemex EPC-1 project. With a deck
covering five acres, and with both the world’s
largest offshore desalinization system and
hydrocarbon and condensate plants, onshore
work took one and half years to complete. The
Pemex EPC-1 is currently installed offshore in
the Bay of Campeche.
MMR Group projects for pharmaceuticals
and clean room facilities were done for
AmGen in Longmont, Colorado and for Merck
in Albany, Georgia. Other projects included
work at a food additives plant for Bio Products
in St. Gabriel, Louisiana and a steel mill for
Tuscaloosa Steel in Mobile, Alabama.
MMR Group helped complete the IPSCO
(Alabama) steelworks in Mobile, Alabama,
expected to produce 1.25 million tons of steel
per year when running at top capacity.
MMR Group’s commitment to workplace
safety garnered the company a national award
from the Business Roundtable, an association
of chief executive officers of leading United
States corporations. The Construction Industry
Safety Excellence (CISE) award placed MMR
Group in the top names in the Construction
Specialties category.
CISE Award criteria included management
commitment and accountability, staff qualifications,
written and budgeted health and
safety programs, use of proven safety practices,
and proven results in lowered incident rates.
Prior to granting the award, three client
companies confirmed MMR Group’s safety
attitudes and practices.
Satisfying clients and operating with safety
and efficiency are good reasons why MMR
Group is a corporation of which Louisiana can
be proud.
