Spill Containment Is One Vital Component To Minimizing Damages When A Spill Occurs
[Posted on Aug 08]
Failure to have an effective spill containment strategy when an oil spill occurs can lead to much more damaging consequences. There are examples of companies operating in the offshore drilling industry who have experienced an oil spill and have seen their business go under as a result of their poor spill containment. Focusing on preventing oil spills from happening is a critical part of this industry but knowing that these types of accidents are essentially unavoidable, that isn't an option. Instead, you must prepare for the worst so that you can react quickly if and when that happens.
Companies that have experienced an spill and learned that their spill containment methods were ineffective often contact Stewart Technology Associates. With our help, you can implement a better overall strategy, not just for spill containment but for oil spill cleanup as well. As a trusted part of the offshore community for over 20 years, we've earned a level of credibility that others in the field simply don't have. That makes our consultancy and engineering extremely valuable for our clients which is why they continue to rely on our services, related to spill containment as well as other aspects of their work, such as anchor analysis, riser analysis, marine training simulators, wave power systems and more.
STA founder and CEO Bil Stewart has worked extensively in this field, having witnessed the development the industry has seen in over the last few decades. He's seen what has worked, what hasn't and what has miserably failed. This gives him a perspective that is extremely valuable to our clients, both in terms of analysis of their offshore structures as well as providing expert testimony regarding litigation when needed. He's able to lend a tremendous amount of insight to a marine accident investigation to assist in determining the cause of the accident so that it can be rectified in order to avoid similar issues in the future.
Recovering from an oil spill takes time, money and resources for an operation. That cuts into the profit margin and slows down productivity. That can be lessened when there is a plan in place for spill containment and oil spill cleanup so that when an accident occurs, it can be overcome quickly and operations can get back on track as soon as possible. Stewart Technology Associates can analyze your current spill containment strategy and provide your company with changes and improvements that can be made.
