February 28, 2012

BMT Group (BMT) the leading international maritime design, engineering and risk management consultancy announces the opening of its new offices in Houston, Texas.

BMT Scientific Marine Services has had operations in Houston since 1996. Their expanding business has necessitated the move to larger and more suitable facilities. The new office also serves as a Houston base for BMT Fluid Mechanics and BMT Reliability Consultants. The new location at 11505 West Little York, Houston, TX 77041 is approximately 8 miles from the previous location on Whithorn Drive and in close proximity to the intersection of Highway 290 and Beltway 8.

The new building provides 60% more useable space which will be fundamental to BMT Scientific Marine Services’ future plans.

Jeffrey Lewis, Vice President of Operations for BMT Scientific Marine Services commented, “Our Instrumentation Systems (IS) Group uses the Houston office to build Integrated Marine Monitoring Systems (IMMS) and Independent Remote Monitoring Systems (IRMS).The expanded lab area will increase our capacity by allowing us to build multiple IS projects simultaneously.”

Lewis added, “Our Service Group also operates out of this office, and with the increased space, we are able to better organize equipment and spares to more efficiently service our clients including an extended inventory of common components to help provide quicker service response times.”
