 The Houston Chronicle's August 9, 2017 Business Section cover photo ("Container volume climbs at port") noted how container traffic increased by 14 percent in the first half of 2017, and that the Port of Houston Authority will extend gate hours to accommodate the increased activity. It's cover photo for the story showed an aerial view of the Bayport Terminal unloading area, featuring RCC pavement (though RCC is not mentioned specifically). Additionally, the online version shows two additional shots of Bayport's RCC pavement (#1 and #4 in the linked slideshow).
A related article on August 10, 2017 ("Business booms at Port of Houston") notes that "Houston's port and industrial market have seen some of the quickest development in the nation." Cheap oil and natural gas have fueled a booming plastics pellets manufacturing and export industry. This has contributed to a sharp rise in industrial real estate values, and an uptick in distribution warehouse construction throughout the region. Comments are closed.
