PAST EXPERIENCE
CAT 5 – HURRICANE KATRINA (2005)
After the devastation caused by the CAT 5 storm, Hurricane Katrina, that hit along the Gulf Coast in 2005, Tiger was contracted to manage a 1,200-person base camp in New Orleans, Louisiana that housed, fed, showered and entertained soldiers and other first responders that were tasked with logistical operations and rescue efforts after the storm destroyed the Louisiana Gulf Coast.
In addition, we managed three other base camps in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Harahan, Louisiana and Texas City for first responder personnel.
CAT 4 – HURRICANE IKE (2008)
On September 12, 2008, CAT 4 Hurricane Ike surged out of the Gulf of Mexico and hit along the Gulf Coast in the dead of night, causing $37B in property damage and wiping out beach communities. The massive storm forced the energy industry to evacuate and cease all work for the duration of the storm.
Tiger was contracted by BP Global, a British multinational oil and gas company and one of the world’s largest energy “supermajors”, to setup and manage a 500-person base camp in Texas City, Texas that housed, fed, showered and entertained personnel for the duration of the storm.
Tiger provided generators, lighting, fuel storage & deployment, living quarters, mobile base camps and other critical infrastructure assets.
HURRICANE MARIA
After Hurricane Maria pummeled Puerto Rico, Tiger was mobilized to ship emergency equipment to the island for a communications client. We installed metal housing containers on a vessel to create a floatel (floating hotel) for crews to work on the island to restore power and communications. When all was said and done, Tiger shipped vehicles, containers, reefers, mats, generators, pumps, heavy iron, groceries, supplies.
CAT 4 – HURRICANE HARVEY (2017)
Tiger was contracted by the City of Beaumont to restore the water supply in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Our team worked around the clock digging trenches, running pipe, building levies, roads and barge infrastructure that together delivered approximately 24 million gallons of water per day to the city’s treatment plant. Tiger also provided generators, lighting, fuel storage & deployment, living quarters, mobile base camps and other critical infrastructure assets.
Tiger also provided hundreds of mats, generators, light towers, pumps, pressure washers and more to communities from Texas to Florida after Harvey pounded the Gulf Coast.
