Rex Sutherlin has worked with commercial and military shipboard systems design. His areas of expertise include fire protection and fire detection systems, as well as auxiliary piping systems. Sutherlin also has experience with refurbishment of military hardware.
"The work we're doing and demand for our services led us to seek out team members who could complement the team and share our passion for innovation and customer service," Stated Keith Keller, Vice President and General Manager of EBDG's Gulf Coast Office. "David, Trygve and Rex are three high caliber individuals that will add a lot to the team as we work toward our goals for continued success in 2015."
Since reopening its Gulf Coast Office in 2012, EBDG's OSV work has attracted demand from clients across the U.S. and aboard. Some recent projects for the Gulf Coast office have included a unique specialty design oilfield vessel which was delivered in December 2014. The Gulf Coast office is also working on an upgrade to the station keeping of a deep water drillship, among other projects.
