We're Lionel Plante Associates, and we're the lifeline to New England's islands and coastal communities. Our versatile barge services range from reliable cargo and vehicle transport to critical environmental cleanup, including oil spill response and shoreline restoration.

 

But, we're more than just transport and cleanup. Providing essential infrastructure support and tackling the unique challenges of island living is what we do best.

​

We work on even the most remote islands, providing essential support services:

  • Delivering bulk aggregates, rolloff dumpsters, and flatbed loads.

  • Installing subsurface wastewater systems, providing comprehensive site preparation, including collaborating with your contractors. LPA has years of expertise working with complex water and sewer infrastructure.

  • Transporting fuel delivery trucks, waste removal vehicles, and fire equipment.

​

We're the go-to partner for the Portland Water District, Casco Bay Island Transit District, Central Maine Power, and phone and cable companies.

​

When an island utility goes down, including submarine cables and water mains, LPA is there to fix it, often in challenging weather and tight timeframes. We understand the urgency and the impact on the communities we serve.

​

Because we live and work here, we know the challenges that our surrounding communities face. We’re a leader in shoreline stabilization, protecting your valuable coastal property from erosion, and building roads and driveways that can withstand the test of time.

 

Essentially, if it needs to get to or from an island, or if there's a marine environmental or infrastructure need, we make it happen. We bring a distinctive skillset, specialized equipment, and a deep understanding of the coastal environment to every project.

​

Beyond the equipment and expertise, we're a team of dedicated professionals who love where we live and do not underestimate the importance of reliability to the communities we serve. We're not just moving materials; we're building and maintaining the infrastructure that sustains island life. We're problem solvers, innovators, and a dependable partner for any coastal project, large or small. We take pride in being the trusted resource that keeps New England's islands connected and thriving, no matter the challenge.
