Southeast Texas office
Sentinel opened its Nederland, Texas, office in May 2020, bringing the company the local ability to service the Golden Triangle area (Port Arthur, Beaumont and Port Neches). The company was fortunate enough to bring Irish Fugett on board in March 2020 to serve as the Southeast Texas regional manager to support the area. Fugett has 10-plus years of experience in the NDE/ inspection space. He rose up through the ranks from technician to management by displaying hard work, dedication to safety and commitment to quality. Fugett continues to build a strong team of inspectors and technicians to support clients in the region.
The Southeast Texas office has seen year-over-year growth in the region. Fugett and his team continue to support existing partners and build relationships with new clients. The office supports the refining and petrochemical facilities as well as the general contractors in the area. Sentinel can support with the following services:
