Cianbro leads $110M project in Portland

Thick sheets of gray steel, some 30 feet long, are stacked onshore next to a 370-foot tanker docked in Portland Harbor. Aboard the ship, which formerly carried molten sulfur along southern coasts, workers are sandblasting metal.

They’re preparing the surface to accommodate a dozen large cargo tanks being fabricated from sheet steel.

The tanks will hold fuel, water and drilling lubricants for delivery to deepwater oil and gas rigs, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico.
