Frank's Casing Crew, which ranks No. 8 on the list of Acadiana's Top 50 privately held companies, is adding a new facility and about 40 jobs across from its Verot School Road headquarters.

The Lafayette-based multi-service tubular company, which generated $240 million in revenues in 2010, has broken ground on an 18,000-square-foot equipment repair service center. The facility is being constructed directly across from Frank's corporate headquarters at Verot School Road and I-49. The service center is expected to employ 35-50 people and will be fully operational by the first quarter of 2012.
