About Us

In 1996, LAD Companies was founded by Lee A. Dragna, fueled by an unwavering passion for repair work. Today, we stand strong as an organization that has flourished, employing over 150 dedicated individuals and operating three facilities throughout southern Louisiana. Our expertise lies in new barge fabrication, drydock services, dockside repairs, marine salvage, and structural fabrication. We take pride in having engaged in remarkable projects, including assisting SpaceX with rocket recovery and barge repairs, executing the demolition of Launch Station 39A at Cape Canaveral, contributing to BP oil spill recovery efforts, and offering disaster relief in response to hurricanes in Puerto Rico. At LAD Companies, our unwavering commitment to welcoming new challenges and pursuing specialized projects, no matter their scale, is at the heart of our operational philosophy.
