BSI Services (Trinidad) Limited
Diversification is the key
BSI Services (Trinidad) Limited is the Caribbean-based
subsidiary of a specialty construction company that’s
based in Mountain View, Wyoming, and serves clients
around the world. The company provides project man-
agement for piping, mechanical and civil installations
for new construction, renovations and turnarounds, as
well as safety, supervisory, and engineering training,
vessel fabrication, repair, and other specialty services.
Chris Kellum, BSI’s Regional Strategic Operations As-
sistant, says that BSI first came to Trinidad and Tobago
in 1997, to work at the new Atlantic LNG facility in the
Point Fortin area. Subsequently, the company set up
a full fabrication, design, and engineering operation
in Le Brea, that was further developed into an ASME
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers) code
shop. “We do ASME-coded vessel fabrication, design,
and manufacturing and we’re an ASME and NBIC (Na-
tional Board Inspection Code) vessel repair facility,” he
says. (The NBIC provides standards for the installation,
inspection, and repair and/or alteration of boilers,
pressure vessels, and pressure relief devices.)
