PROJECT PURPOSE
The purpose of this project was to remove a four pile oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico. The topside of the structure was removed and scrapped while the jacket and pile structure was towed to an artificial reef site as part of a program called Rigs-to-Reef. This program is an ecological way to recycle these structures as they provide new habitats for fish and marine mammals.
