Every day, Barriere links Louisiana’s people and businesses together – building, paving, and installing safe, quality roads and heavy civil infrastructure designed to stand the test of time.

Our core values include a commitment to sustainable business practices and respect for our environment. It’s another way Barriere helps build enduring value for our customers, our employees, and our communities.

At Barriere, we proudly:

• Recycle construction materials whenever possible to promote resource and land stewardship. We are, year after year, one of Louisiana’s largest recyclers of construction materials. We convert concrete roadbed into reusable aggregate through state-approved recycling yards, and cycle old asphalt by blending it with virgin materials to build new roads. Even rebar is removed and sold to scrap metal companies to make new steel.
• Investigate new and innovative ways to improve the efficiency of our processes, equipment, and products to reduce our environmental impact while demonstrating a meaningful return on investment.
• Utilize porous asphalt pavements whenever possible to reduce pollution in storm water runoff.
• Invest in construction technology, processes, and products that conserve energy, natural resources, congestion, and     landfill space.
• Follow industry best practices for pollution prevention and waste minimization.
• Meet or exceed applicable environmental laws and regulations.
• Track our progress and commit to continuous improvement in our environmental strategy.
• Celebrate our nine consecutive years of receiving the prestigious National Asphalt Pavement Association’s (NAPA) Diamond Achievement Commendations for Excellence in Asphalt Plant/Site Operations in Franklinton and Boutte, La
