Roll Group has opened its newest Americas Project office and yard in Saint Gabriel, Louisiana. The expansion is to serve the Gulf Coast region with localised expertise and integrated engineered heavy lift and project logistics services.
By expanding its Americas footprint, Roll Group now offers greater regional coverage, and tailored project support to a growing client base in the energy, petrochemical, infrastructure, and industrial construction sectors.
The new facility features a 2160 square foot office and 3 acres of laydown/storage area, with access to an additional 5 acres for storage and maintenance operations. Ideally situated with immediate access to key industrial corridors throughout Louisiana and along the Mississippi River. The location places Roll Group in closer proximity to ongoing and upcoming operations enabling faster mobilisation and more efficient service delivery across the region.

A strategic location
Louisiana represents a critical connection in North America’s energy infrastructure. The US petroleum industry between Lake Charles and New Orleans drives constant demand for safe, reliable, and innovative engineered transport and lifting services. By establishing a permanent office in the region, Roll Group is well-positioned to provide turnkey solutions that combine land-based heavy haulage with marine transport, reducing project complexity and risk for its clients.
‘We’ve always strived to serve the market, as ten per cent of the petroleum industry lies between Lake Charles and New Orleans,’ says Gary Summers, who has been with Roll Group since the company’s US launch over a decade ago. ‘Now we’re not only serving the market, we’re local.’

Expanding capacity, growing talent
The new Louisiana office offers project management, engineering, technical support, and client services. It also supports the company’s long-term goal of cultivating local talent and partnerships to drive regional employment and collaboration.
Roll Group is equipped to handle complex turnkey projects through its combination of owned and operated assets, including an international fleet of vessels and local/international barges, mooring and ballasting equipment, heavy duty engineered bridging, gantry lifting and jacking solutions, and a growing fleet of hydraulic modular trailers — including the latest OTR, hydraulic and fully modular self-propelled trailers — as well as telescopic and lattice boom heavy lift cranes. All of this is supported by in-house land and marine engineering. In particular, Roll Group specialises in the transportation and lifting of large modular cargo.
