The new manufacturing facility, located in Gregory, Texas near the Port of Corpus Christi, is scheduled to be delivered with phased completions between December 2012 and end of 2014. This project is TPCO's first major mill in the United States.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Tom McDuffie stated, "We are very proud that TPCO has chosen Jacobs to provide project management consulting services for its first project in the U.S. This is a major investment in Texas and reflects the confidence in our reputation for successfully delivering large facilities anywhere in the world."
