STA's Anchor Analysis Has Proven To Be Valuable Both In Terms Of Productivity And Safety [Posted on April 02] Any operation in any industry, regardless of the work being done or the scope of that work, requires constant analysis of data. This is because in order to increase the productivity and efficiency of said operation, there must be attempts to determine what isn't working as well as it could or should be and then trying to determine how to make the necessary improvements. In the field of offshore and marine drilling, analysis, such as anchor analysis, is an ongoing process for all organizations working in the field as they strive continually advance their operations. However, analysis of any kind, whether it's anchor analysis, seakeeping analysis, jack-up analysis, mooring analysis or regarding any of the other structures in the industry, is only as good as those who are providing it. This is why Stewart Technology Associates has been such a trusted partner of so many in the industry since being founded in 1986 and founder Bil Stewart even before then. By illustrating repeatedly that the work we do and the analysis we provide delivers in a way that makes the operations of our clients more successful, we've established ourselves as a leader in this field which has made us highly sought after. We appreciate how important accurate and credible analysis is regarding your offshore structures, whether it's regarding their day to day operation or as a part of a marine accident investigation. During a marine accident investigation, analysis like anchor analysis is used to determine what went wrong that led to the accident and what can be done to lower the chances it will happen again. But when the information and analysis don't prove to be beneficial or lack insight, then it's no good to the operation. This isn't a concern for the clients of Stewart Technology Associates who know that when we provide anchor analysis it will lead to an improvements for their company. Of course the other reason this kind of analysis is valuable is for safety. This is an aspect that probably doesn't get enough attention but anyone that works in this field knows that it can be dangerous. Performing regular analysis of the structures that are being used can lead to improvements in safety practices and simply lower the risks in certain situations. This is the kind of value that doesn't always show up on paper but it's one that is always appreciated with hindsight.
