Treasure Chest Casino Terminal and Site Development

Burk-Kleinpeter, Inc. (BKI) was contracted by Treasure Chest Casino to develop the site for their riverboat gaming operation on Lake Pontchartrain at Williams Boulevard.

BKI designed concrete roadways, a parking lot, drainage, site utilities, a complete riverboat mooring system with dolphins, harbor dredging, and complete structural and mechanical design of the riverboat entertainment terminal. The terminal is a three-story, steel-frame building on a custom-made steel barge in Lake Pontchartrain that houses a floating entertainment facility with dining, lounges, lobby, sales, and back-of-house offices. The project included design plans and specifications, construction administration and resident inspection.

Construction cost was approximately $6 million.
