Bay will offer construction services, labor and equipment to support fabrication. DeGruy said the alliance makes good business sense because Bay offers enclosed fabrication facilities and manpower and McDermott offers a larger yard, engineering and some equipment. Bay has these covered facilities that we can use to build structures and then assemble them on our property. It s just a good marriage. McDermott announced Nov. 6 that it would reactivate the Harbor Island facility due to increased activity in the marine-construction industry.
Harbor Island is located on a deep-water channel and has direct access to the Gulf of Mexico.
