Perry Slingsby Systems (PSS), a leading supplier of remotely operated technologies to the offshore industry, has strengthened its commitment to the Gulf region with the establishment of a $2,000,000 state-of-the-art training and support facility in Houston. 

Perry Slingsby Systems Houston Center which opened in January is planning an official grand opening event on April 27. The state-of-the-art facility is located in the Bondesen North Business Park, (just off the north-west corner of Beltway #8) in the heart of the oil and gas technology corridor. The center provides unrivalled support services to the demanding offshore oil industry. The 20,000sq ft complex includes a deepwater education center offering full ROV simulation and training for both novice and experienced pilots, technicians and engineers. The simulators use the same hardware as used in the field so beginners can become accustomed to the control placement, vehicle reactions and control system diagnostics without the necessity of going offshore. Experienced pilots can also rehearse critical missions, increasing efficiency, proficiency and confidence. 

The center will provide a range of deep water operation support services with on the spot engineering, subsea intervention services and technical support for projects of all sizes and complexity. PSS’s engineering and technical staff will focus on services for onshore and offshore applications, including project specific requests. PSS Houston will also offer the sale or rental of standard tooling, as well as the capabilities to engineer and fabricate project specific or custom tooling. Bruce Lokay, chief operating officer of PSSI, said: “As we move forward, we never lose sight of the fact that our success is fully dependent on the success of our customers, those businesses who deploy our technology in some of the most demanding offshore environments. We are looking forward to expanding the high quality products and services we offer to customers in the Gulf region to help them do the same.”

 PSS recently became part of the Aberdeen based company, Triton Group Holdings. Triton aims to create a group of companies, focused on providing state of the art technology and services which help the oil and gas industry optimise exploration and production. Martin Anderson, chief executive officer of Triton Group Holdings, said: “PSS has grown considerably in the last three years and is in an extremely strong position to exploit the global opportunities. “The establishment of this new facility is clearly an important development for PSS and a key step in our long-term growth strategy.
