DuPont Completes Hurricane Ike Recovery at Texas Plant

ORANGE, Texas—This week marked the completion of the Hurricane Ike restart project at the DuPont Sabine River Works plant. The site’s ethylene unit began operation this week and was the site’s final unit to return to normal operation.

“The safe repair and restart of Sabine River Works is a great achievement made possible by the collaborative efforts of Sabine River Works and other DuPont employees, along with contract partners working together as a unified team,” said Mike Sanchez, site manager. “This was made possible by the focus, commitment, hard work and dedication of thousands of people who, despite their own personal hardships, joined together to safely rebuild and restart the complex operation in this period of time.”
