The Lena guyed tower and its 20 associated guylines were installed in 1000 feet (305 m) of water in Mississippi Canyon Block 280 in the Gulf of Mexico in 1983. The design, installation, post-construction inspection, and routine monitoring of the 2.4 million pounds (1.1M kg) of anodes that provide underwater protection for the tower and guylines are reviewed.
