CMS Overview
CMS is a dynamic and innovative company, specialising in onshore and inshore piling, construction and marine engineering within the Caribbean Region.
We install pilings which we design to suit each environment in which we work.
The customisation and use of non traditional, state-of-the-art piling systems ensures minimal environmental impact, increased installation speed, minimal material wastage and consequently a lower project cost for our clients.
Our History
CMS was founded in 2004, initially as
a shallow-water marine contractor, building docks and jetties, restoring beaches, laying mooring buoys, building/ repairing sea defences, dredging and boat maintenance.
The company was acquired in 2008,
by the present owners, Sam Verity
and Kelsey Kerridge.
Sam and Kelsey originally expanded the range of company services, to include beach restoration and the installation of boat lifts, then diversified to onshore piling in late 2011.
Mission Statement
To implement low cost and efficient solutions to the piling of foundations for buildings and marine structures in Caribbean islands, where the costs of imported materials and specialist services are generally very high.
Mobilisation
The CMS Group are registered
and based in St Lucia, Turks & Caicos Islands, St. Kitts, Antigua and Guyana and can quickly mobilise, anywhere across the Caribbean, at any time.
A great many projects have already been completed in TCI, St Kitts,
St Lucia, Grenada and Guyana, with others under review in Aruba and Haiti.
Our project input is bound to improve your construction output.
Efficient, timely, safe & on budget.
