Waskey Platforms have provided Owners unprecedented protection from the ravishing impact of Gulf Hurricanes and flooding for over 65 years.
The Waskey Platform protects buildings and equipment from floodwater and storm surges and contains spills all while providing the support needed in areas with poor soils or those over water. Each platform is custom-designed to meet the application’s unique spatial, loading and flood or hurricane protection requirements.
Waskey designed and fabricated a substantial metering station platform in Southeast Louisiana. This 52,500-square-foot platform presented a unique challenge as it was elevated 25 feet above the waterline. Engineered to withstand Category 5 hurricane winds and waves, the platform demonstrated the strength of Waskey’s products and its talented design team. To meet project timelines, precast elements were transported by truck to Grand Isle, LA, then loaded onto barges for efficient on-site assembly by the contractor.
