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.
Mobilization
CMS is based in St Lucia and can mobilise with its piling equipment, to any Caribbean island in about ten days. Projects have been successfully completed in Turks & Caicos, St Kitts, Grenada and Guyana, with projects are under review in Aruba and Haiti.
