Pulice has recorded 200,000 work hours without a lost-time incident on its Port Arthur Floodwall and Levee Raise Project in Port Arthur, Texas, marking a safety milestone for the infrastructure development.
The project team celebrated the achievement with a barbecue for employees, recognising their continued commitment to workplace safety. The milestone reflects the contractor’s emphasis on planning, accountability and safe construction practices.
The approximately $100 million project is delivering flood resilience improvements near the Sabine-Neches Waterway along the Texas Gulf Coast.
Construction includes 5.5 miles of new earthen levee, 5.5 miles of new floodwall, 26 new closure structures, and reinforced concrete and sheet-pile components. The work requires coordination across complex construction activities while maintaining safety standards.
The improvements are intended to strengthen flood protection infrastructure in the Port Arthur area.
Pulice Project Manager Ankur Gandotra said the team's safety-first approach demonstrates its commitment to protecting workers and ensuring they return home safely.
The 200,000-hour milestone reflects the combined efforts of personnel working across the project site. Maintaining safety during infrastructure construction requires consistent planning, hazard awareness and accountability throughout daily operations.
Pulice, a FlatironDragados company, delivers infrastructure projects across Texas, Arizona and the southwestern United States. The company identifies safety as a central priority in its construction operations.
