Boat landings and the levee road
Everything in Henderson is organized around the levee, and the landings on the basin side are where the crowds actually collect. A Henderson landing order is usually two or three standard units set on the shell parking above the ramp, clear of the trailers backing down.
Weekend traffic at the Henderson landings spikes hard from spring through early fall, and the lot fills before mid-morning. We service Henderson landing units early in the day, before the boat trailers make the approach impossible for anything larger than a pickup.
Swamp tours, dancehalls and visitors
Tour operators and the restaurants and dancehalls along the Henderson levee road run on visitor traffic, and their private events land on our calendar every season. Orders in Henderson for those nights stay small, often a deluxe flushing unit and a pair of standard units on the paved side.
Because the strip through Henderson is narrow with the levee on one side and water on the other, there is very little room to set anything. We walk a Henderson placement with the operator so the unit does not cost a parking row or block the tour bus turn.
Levee, pipeline and basin work
Contractors working the Atchafalaya levee and the pipeline crossings near Henderson run long jobs in conditions nobody else wants. A Henderson levee crew typically keeps a standard unit and a handwashing station at the staging area on the crown, the one place guaranteed to stay dry.
Water levels in the basin behind Henderson move through the year and what is firm ground in October may be underwater in spring. We confirm the Henderson placement each visit and move the unit up the levee when the gauge starts climbing.
