Environmental, Petroleum and Contracting Services
20 years ago Sutherland Excavating Ltd. was formed with only four employees. Today,
President, Blake Sutherland and Office Manager Stacey Sutherland work together along with 25 employees to provide services
such as Petroleum Tank Installation, Oil Spill Response, Contaminated Site Clean Up, and Heavy Equipment Services.
As Terminal Operator for the Port of Belledune Oil Handling Facility, Sutherland's receive, store and export oil
via ships for contract customers. Sutherlands are one of the few firms equipped to handle oil spills on both land and water.
They have responded to gasoline tanker rollovers and also spills from ocean tankers. Training is of upmost importance and
practice sessions are a regular occurrence.
The company takes pride in operating a fleet of new and well maintained
heavy equipment which they deploy all around the province working on various jobs and contracts both big and small. Company
operators come with decades of experience, training and accountability.
The petroleum installation crews are very
experienced and have been installing systems for many, many years. They also do service work, repairing pumps and electrical
components.
Key to the company's success has been investing in safety training. They are certified by the NBCSA
for the past 4 years and have worked hard to maintain it. "You have to be prepared and
equipped to react when your services are needed" says Blake. "That's
why all our employees take annual training and we keep our equipment up to date".
The firm serves New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI.
