Next month, ENR Texas & Louisiana will highlight the top 25 biggest projects by total value that broke ground across Texas and Louisiana in 2012. This listing includes nearly $14 billion in work across the two states.

The 25 project starts are listed alphabetically below, along with each project’s location and owner/developer. In April, ENR Texas & Louisiana will share where each project falls in the ranking, as well as additional details about each of the projects and the teams building them.

Please keep in mind that the following list is preliminary, and is subject to change as additional information becomes available prior to publication of the ranking in the April 22 print edition. Also, because this ranking has been ordered according to toal project value, those projects that were unable or unwilling to disclose their total project value have not been included.

Have we missed a project valued over $100 million that began construction in 2012? Please let us know. Drop me an email at louise_poirier@mcgraw-hill.com.
