Construction of the new Boasso America Corp headquarters in Chalmette LA was completed in September, just one mile from the company's previous Arabi LA site.

This 43-acre terminal, which sits in the St Bernard Port, Harbor & Terminal District, houses Boasso America's corporate and administrative staff while also serving as a full-service depot. The facility is entirely hard-surfaced with asphaltic concrete and includes a 20,000-square-foot main office building, a 17,000-sq-ft welding and frame repair area, an 11,000-sq-ft chassis repair shop, and an 8,000-sq-ft tractor maintenance bay. A pressure test/valve repair pad can accommodate 40 tanks under roof.

It also features a 3,000-sq-ft, covered four-lane inspection building, outfitted with catwalks and fall protection gear. A 28,000-sq-ft detached wash rack includes six drive-through bays and 10 positions for exterior and special cleans. The company is currently operating 58 trucks out of this location.
