SLSCO

SLSCO LTD. is a construction and disaster-response contractor headquartered in Galveston, Texas. Its work spans government and private-sector assignments, with a particular emphasis on the rehabilitation, reconstruction, and recovery of communities affected by hurricanes, earthquakes, public-health emergencies, and other disruptive events. Rather than being primarily identified with a consumer product, SLSCO operates as an infrastructure and program-delivery business whose projects can include housing, schools, clinics, community centers, fire stations, hospitals, transportation-related sites, and industrial facilities. The company has participated in large-scale recovery programs in several U.S. jurisdictions and in Haiti. In New York City, SLSCO worked on the Build It Back program, the city’s permanent housing-recovery initiative after Hurricane Sandy. Between 2010 and 2016, its work was performed under a contract reported at $290 million, and the program’s results included the return of more than 750 families to their homes. Following Hurricane Maria, SLSCO received a reported $180 million contract covering the restoration or reconstruction of more than 2,500 safe, compliant, green-building-certified homes across 40 municipalities in Puerto Rico. After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the company was involved in reconstructing community facilities in four Haitian villages, including schools, clinics, community centers, and fire stations. SLSCO also undertook recovery work after Hurricane Harvey in Texas, including permanent rehabilitation, elevation, and reconstruction of homes across more than 30 counties. Its broader construction portfolio includes participation in the expansion of Texas International Terminals’ marine-terminal industrial site in the Galveston area. That facility was designed as a multimodal liquid- and dry-bulk logistics complex supporting deep-draft vessels, unit trains, manifest rail, barges, and trucks. The company has also received federal border-infrastructure contracts. These included assignments to replace sections of the Mexico–United States border wall in Hidalgo County, Texas; near San Diego, California; and in New Mexico. The reported contract values for those projects were $145 million, $147 million, and $61 million respectively. During the COVID-19 emergency in 2020, SLSCO participated in the rapid conversion or construction of alternate-care facilities. In New York City, it helped build sites at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens and the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. The Queens facility was reported to have 470 beds and was constructed in 11 days, while the Brooklyn facility had 630 beds and opened in May, after the city’s coronavirus peak had passed. SLSCO also performed part of the work connected with Florida’s reported $283 million program for overflow hospitals and received a reported $4.6 million contract to convert the vacant former Pan American Hospital into a facility with more than 200 beds for COVID-19 patient care. In 2022, SLSCO received a contract to operate four Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers in New York City. The centers served more than 12,800 asylum seekers. In 2025, the company completed the first home under North Carolina’s RenewNC program, which was established to rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Helene. Across these assignments, SLSCO’s positioning is that of a flexible, large-project contractor capable of combining construction, emergency mobilization, public-sector coordination, and community recovery.

SLSCO is a Galveston, Texas-based contractor whose documented work combines conventional construction with disaster response and long-term community recovery. The available reference material does not identify a founding year, founder, ownership structure, or chief executives, so the company’s corporate origins cannot be described reliably beyond its identification as SLSCO LTD. Its activity has included both private industrial development and publicly funded recovery programs. In the Galveston area, SLSCO participated in the expansion of a major marine-terminal industrial site developed for Texas International Terminals. The facility supports liquid and dry bulk cargo and is designed to connect deep-draft vessels with unit-train, rail, barge, and trucking operations. This work illustrates that SLSCO’s capabilities extend beyond residential rebuilding into complex industrial and logistics infrastructure. A major part of the company’s profile developed through post-disaster housing programs. From 2010 through 2016, SLSCO participated in New York City’s Build It Back initiative, which addressed homes damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. The reported $290 million contract supported permanent housing recovery, and more than 750 families were able to return to their homes through the program. The company later undertook extensive recovery work in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Its reported $180 million assignment covered more than 2,500 homes in 40 municipalities, with an emphasis on safe, compliant, green-building-certified reconstruction. SLSCO also worked in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. Its community-reconstruction responsibilities in four villages included facilities such as schools, clinics, community centers, and fire stations. The mix of housing and public facilities is characteristic of the company’s disaster-recovery model, in which reconstruction is treated as a community-infrastructure task rather than only as individual building repair. After Hurricane Harvey in 2017, SLSCO received work involving permanent rehabilitation, elevation, and reconstruction of homes in more than 30 Texas counties. Elevation projects are particularly relevant in flood-prone areas because they combine repair or replacement with mitigation against future storm damage. The company subsequently became involved in federally funded border infrastructure. It received contracts to replace portions of the Mexico–United States border wall in Hidalgo County, Texas, near San Diego, California, and in New Mexico. The reported values were $145 million, $147 million, and $61 million. These assignments broadened the public-works dimension of SLSCO’s portfolio beyond disaster recovery. In 2020, the COVID-19 emergency required rapidly delivered medical capacity. SLSCO helped construct alternate-care facilities at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens and the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. The Queens site was reported to have 470 beds and was completed in 11 days. The Brooklyn site had 630 beds and opened in May, although it was later closed as hospital demand declined and social-distancing conditions improved. SLSCO also performed part of the construction associated with Florida’s overflow-hospital initiative and received a reported $4.6 million assignment to convert the former Pan American Hospital into a more-than-200-bed COVID-19 facility. In 2022, the company moved into emergency humanitarian facility operations by taking a contract to run four Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers in New York City. The centers served more than 12,800 asylum seekers. In 2025, SLSCO completed the first home in North Carolina’s RenewNC program, marking another documented entry in its hurricane-recovery work. Overall, the company’s history is defined by mobilization for large public-sector projects, permanent rebuilding after disasters, emergency facility delivery, and construction work requiring coordination across multiple communities and jurisdictions.
