On August 31, 2017 Tiger Industrial Rentals teamed up with the City of Beaumont and ExxonMobil to restore water to 120,000 residents that had been left inoperable due to Hurricane Harvey flooding. In an extraordinary public-private partnership, dubbed “miraculous” by Beaumont Mayor Becky Ames, Tiger Industrial threw the city a life preserver while floodwaters from Tropical Storm Harvey rose to unheard-of heights.
In an effort to keep the city’s head above water, Tiger helped to engineer a plan using industrial pumps capable of delivering 20 million gallons of water a day to the city’s treatment plant on Pine Street. In order to successfully pull off this project, Tiger delivered pumps, mats, hoses, fuel tanks, generators, light towers, excavators, cranes, forklifts, barge, sand bags, pipe cradles, road crossings, port-o-lets, drums, boats, personnel and a blast resistant building to use as a ride out shelter for the duration of the project.
