Tideland Signal is proud to be one of the suppliers involved in the Perdido Development, Royal Dutch Shell’s record breaking new hub located 200 miles off the coast of Texas.
Located in an isolated, ultra-deep sector of the Gulf of Mexico, Perdido, which in April started producing oil and natural gas, has broken new ground in platform engineering, becoming the first platform in this emerging frontier area.
The $3 billion project is both a triumph of technology, boasting several industry firsts, and a feat of
patience, given the facility has been in development for over a decade.
The Perdido project is the first of its kind in many ways, and we at Tideland Signal are proud to have provided our latest, most efficient LED flasher to mark the four corners of this innovative complex. The MLED-155 lantern with MaxiHALO-60 light source is USCG approved for Class A, B and C structures. Chosen for its compact design and efficiency, the MLED-155 utilises one-half to one-third the power of that required by competitors’ lanterns.
The Perdido marks a new era in innovation and, like the lanterns that mark it, will be in place for many years to come.
Founded in 1954 and based in Houston, Texas, Tideland Signal Corporation is committed to meeting and exceeding the requirements for marine aids to navigation to the maritime industry.
