Heritage in the Gulf: Our Oil Spill Response Efforts

Our role in the Gulf

Heritage is no stranger to Louisiana and the Gulf region. We routinely work with local industries to help them with their environmental needs. After hurricanes Katrina and Rita, our rapid-response teams worked closely with our customers to get their facilities back online in a short amount of time.

In the current situation, we coordinated early on with unified command personnel to identify areas where oil would make landfall and to make the necessary preparations for cleanup operations. Today, more than 135 men and women working for Heritage and as subcontractors to Heritage have been deployed at nine staging areas throughout the southernmost parishes of Louisiana. Many of them volunteered for the job, taking leave from their usual assignments at other Heritage facilities throughout the country.
