the company are under way, Gocool said, which would
involve BSI offering its training services to other con-
tractors in the region to get workers up to speed on
OSHA courses and other mandatory issues. In fact,
the company is seeking a relationship with Houston-
based NSL America – a 50-person company that works
worldwide to improve safety in lifting and mechanical
handling operations and related subjects – to assist
with implementation of the training initiative.
Further out, the agenda includes items related to fur-
ther establishing itself on many fronts.
“There is a lot of work out there,” Mohammed said.
“BP has wells that they are drilling offshore, and these
are high-pressure wells. There’s a great opportunity
for us. We have a lot of contracts in the U.S. as well,
so we will be using the Trinidad facility to assist with
fabricating pressure vessels and exporting pressure
vessels.”
