HOUSTON, TEXAS – Zentech’s President Ramesh Maini announced today that the Company has been awarded a contract to perform a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the hull steel for the Naval Aircraft Carrier Sao Paulo, as part of the Brazilian Navy’s upgrade of this flagship vessel.
Zentech will perform the work using the patented methodology of its ZAIMSTM (Zentech’s Asset Integrity Management SolutionTM) system to assist the Brazilian Navy in assessing the sea-worthiness of the vessel’s hull. The initial work involves corrosion inspection, condition evaluation and detailed analysis of the carrier’s hull integrity, including the creation of 3D models to accurately map the results of the vessel’s hull gauging for further detailed analytical work, and ultimately providing recommendations regarding steel replacement. Beyond Phase One, Zentech will provide ongoing assistance to the Navy through a five-year maintenance support contract.
James Cook, Managing Director of Zentech do BrasilTM in Rio de Janeiro, said the work will be primarily performed by personnel from the Rio facility, augmented by other Zentech offices as needed. Zentech is currently performing similar work for Life Enhancement on a number of offshore drilling rigs for major drilling contractors, and has recently completed similar work for 63 PEMEX production platforms.

HOUSTON, TEXAS – Bob “Sonny” Fogal, one of the icons in the offshore oil and gas industry, has decided to retire from front-line work as Zentech’s Director of Business Development. Zentech’s President Ramesh Maini noted on August 28th “All the serious players in our industry know Bob and his many accomplishments. He is clearly among the elite in this group.”
Mr. Fogal has spent his entire career in the rig building business, starting with Levingston Shipyard and subsequent work with major designers and builders in the U.S. as well as Singapore, Japan, China, Brazil, India, South Africa, and the Middle East. His official full-time employment began in 1957, although
Bob admits that he was actually working part-time in the shipyard even before then. His earliest assignments included engineering, estimating and QA-QC in the shipyard, followed by equal success in construction, projects, yard management and ultimately sales. This is where his star really started to shine, where Bob discovered his true passion. Ramesh Maini points out that “Since that time, Bob has been heavily involved in the sale and building of over 100 rigs and vessels.”
Throughout his career, Bob has accumulated many awards and accolades for his contributions to the industry. He has held memberships in IADC, MTS, SNAME, SPE and the NOMADS.
When asked about his future plans, Bob was noncommittal about his next adventure, although he wants to spend more time with his wife at their home in Alabama, and also with his children, grand- and great-grandchildren.
