Land Construction for Gulf Coast Industry
DLS self-performs land construction for industrial clients across the Gulf Coast — with our own excavators, cranes, operators and crews rather than layers of subcontractors. One contractor, one safety program, one point of accountability from notice-to-proceed to demobilization.
What we do
Our land construction scopes cover site preparation and civil works, structural steel erection, mechanical and equipment installation, foundations and concrete work, and facility maintenance and modifications. We serve oil and gas operators, terminals, manufacturers and industrial facilities — the same client base we've built and maintained energy-sector infrastructure for over more than two decades.
Land and water, one contractor
Because DLS also owns a marine fleet of crane barges and tugboats, projects that start on dry ground and end over the water never need a second contractor. Site work, waterfront structures and over-water installation run under one plan, one schedule and one crew culture — a combination few Gulf Coast contractors can self-perform (see Inland Marine Construction and Heavy Marine Construction).
Recent work
Recent land scopes include industrial site development, structural steel erection and equipment setting at Gulf Coast facilities.
Safety on every job
Every land crew works under engineered lift plans where cranes are involved, daily job safety analyses, and stop-work authority for every employee — the program behind DLS's zero recordable incidents since 2018 (see Safety).
