Our History
Over the past 20+ years, Wet Tech has had to adapt and evolve to the cycles of the oilfield and expand our products and services to cater to many other industries that we can serve with the same dedicated service. In business since 1999, we remain committed not only to our customers around the world, but also to the local suppliers, vendors and people in our area.
1999
Wet Tech was incorporated in August 1999 as a small service company in south Louisiana. Our focus was offshore navigation aid system inspections and project management services
2002
Wet Tech successfully performed its first buoy deployment
2004
Wet Tech manufactured and deployed more than 50 buoys offshore
2005
Wet Tech was awarded a contract for a Main Pass Hurricane Ivan salvage project
2006
Wet Tech provided the preset mooring systems for a large offshore barge in the Main Pass field, starting a pathway for our successful mooring division.
2008
By 2008, Wet Tech was the leading buoy company with well over 300 buoys manufactured, deployed and maintained with over 40 unique offshore oil companies.
2009
Wet Tech executed a joint master service contract with a heavy-lift contractor and six offshore operators, all combined into a single contract, which was a first of its kind.
Provided preset mooring systems and offshore services for mooring installation, recovery and reset at over 60 project locations for a combined group of oil companies, Wet Tech performed all work with zero incidents or injuries.
2010
Wet Tech was contracted directly to provide labor and equipment for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill response, which we performed without incident until the spill was deemed cleaned up in 2012.
2011
Wet Tech purchased a 180’ Offshore Supply Vessel and retrofitted it to become a custom Anchor Handling/Buoy Tender vessel to serve more than 100 customers.
2013
Started providing preset anchor systems and buoys for the largest lift system in the USA until it became USCG certified Dynamic Positioned in 2014.
2014
Wet Tech had over 200 buoys offshore that were maintained and inspected per USCG and MMS (BSEE) regulations.
2015
Oil prices began to fall to all time low levels creating a very challenging marketplace. We started to look for other industries to enter and today, we are excited that we did so.
2015
Wet Tech was selected to integrate and complete 6-Meter NOMAD weather buoys. We also started fabricating and delivering buoys for subsea testing.
2017
We were awarded a multi-million dollar fabrication and delivery contract for a major reservoir project in Chicago, IL.
2018
In 2018, Wet Tech responded to a Request for Information from the USCG for a buoy maintenance/overhaul opportunity. After government shutdowns and competitive contract negotiations, in 2019 we were formally awarded the contract for the USCG for districts 1,5 and 11. After a very successful first year of USCG contract performance, Wet Tech was asked to modify the existing contract to include additional districts 7, 8 and 9.
We entered the mariculture industry by supplying large buoyancy modules for offshore automated fish farm cage systems in Panama and Hawaii.
2020
We were awarded a contract to fabricate and install 4 FAD (Fish Aggregating Device) buoys offshore. They provide real time weather data 60-80 miles offshore Destin, Florida, and were deployed in early November.
2020
Wet Tech also provided all preset mooring systems for the salvage of an overturned car carrier in St. Simons Sound near Brunswick, GA, which began in March 2020.
