Target Logistics managed a life support camp for Air Products after Hurricane Katrina in September 2005.

This facility was created for the Air Products plant in New Orleans East, Louisiana. The plant had been rendered inoperable by the hurricane, and 700 employees were needed to re-build the facility.

This Air Products location supplies the fuel for the NASA Space Shuttle Program, as well as the additives necessary for a significant percentage of the Nation's gasoline supply. Homeland Security and FEMA made the rapid re-opening of this Air Products facility a TOP PRIORITY.

Target Logistics provided and/or managed the following:

• Program Manager
• Environmental protection program
• Armed security guards protection
• Food service operations in two locations, four meals/day
• Camp maintenance
• Hazardous materials protection program
• Facilities and housing:

With the help of Target Logistics, the Air Products facility in New Orleans East resumed production ahead of schedule by Thanksgiving 2005, and the demobilization of the labor camp was complete by the end of the year.
