 Los
Angeles Export Terminal, Inc. (LAXT) chose Roberts & Schaefer

construction services for material improvements to their Petroleum

conveyor and traveling tripper stacking conveyor in a new metal
building with a footprint of 240 feet by 475 feet with an eave
height 35 feet above grade. A 2,200-tph reclaim system improved
the facility’s ability to export optimized blends of petcoke
products.
