About Cody Fortier

Based in Opelousas, Louisiana, Cody Fortier is a successful construction company owner. He focuses on providing heavy civil (infrastructure), hydro excavation (potholing, trenching, and sloping), and marine construction services for the public and private sectors. As CEO, his primary responsibility is managing the company’s operations and overseeing complex projects in the Gulf South from start to finish.

Fortier’s construction companies use a fleet of earth-moving equipment to work on the Gulf Coast region, including owning custom-built heavy machinery to execute projects safely.

Fortier’s construction work involves highly specialized activities to meet the needs of specific projects. Fortier has worked on marine construction projects ranging from the design and construction of ports and harbors to offshore platforms, bridges, jetties, and other structures in or near bodies of water.

Various projects have involved dredging, which is the removal of sediment from the seabed to deepen harbors or provide foundations for marine structures. This work is performed by specialized dredging vessels, which ensure that ports and shipping channels remain navigable. Dredging also involves building offshore platforms essential for oil, gas, and renewable energy production. Fortier’s crew’s expertise ensures that these platforms resist strong waves, wind, and saltwater corrosion.
