Broussard Brothers

What Broussard Brothers does

Broussard Brothers, Inc. is a third-generation family-owned marine and land construction contractor headquartered in Abbeville, Louisiana, founded in 1947 by brothers N.R. Broussard Sr., Huey Broussard, and J.L. Broussard. The company operates a fleet of approximately 60 vessels including crane barges (30 to 250-ton capacity), a pipeline lay/jet/bury barge (BB-70), tugboats (600-2,000 HP), crew boats (up to 48 feet), and specialized barges (deck, shale, liquid mud, keyway, ramp, yoke, spud). Material handling is performed via Sennebogen 875R HD equipment with throughput of 1,009 tons per hour. The firm delivers four primary service lines: marine construction (pipeline installation, facility construction, decommissioning, shallow-water work up to 30 feet depth in the Gulf of Mexico with pipe diameters from 2" to 30"), land construction (midstream pipeline installation, integrity digs, tie-ins, abandonment), marine fleet rentals (vessels with licensed captains and crews), and 24/7 dock and crane services at a one-mile Intracoastal Waterway facility at Intracoastal City, Louisiana.

The business model is project-based professional services and equipment rental serving enterprise clients in oil and gas, petrochemical, midstream, public works, and agriculture industries across Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Gulf of Mexico waters. Revenue is generated through direct project contracts, vessel and barge rentals with licensed crews, dock and crane service fees, fuel and supply sales at the Intracoastal City facility, and grain loading services. The company maintains two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Acadian Contractors, Inc. (acquired 1973, fabrication and heavy civil construction on 100 acres in Henry, Louisiana) and Home Industry Disposal Company, Inc. / HIDCO (acquired 1983, environmental services). Approximately 700 craft laborers and staff make Broussard Brothers one of the largest employers in Vermilion Parish. Current third-generation leadership includes N.R. "Bubba" Broussard Jr. as Chairman/CEO, N.R. "Chip" Broussard III as President/CFO, Kenwood "Butch" White Jr. as President, and Jarrard Broussard as Executive Director HSEQ. Go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise field sales with no intermediaries, supported by membership in the Louisiana Oilfield Contractors Association (where Bubba Broussard serves as President), company website, LinkedIn, and Facebook presence. The firm is exploring energy transition end markets including LNG, hydrogen, and carbon capture infrastructure as adjacent revenue opportunities.
