Spill Containment

During an emergency situation in the marine or offshore drilling industry, moving swiftly is of the utmost importance. However, that approach can backfire when the plan that is being executed isn’t effective or efficient. Acting incorrectly, particularly in a hasty manner, has the potential of making the situation worse or causing more damage. Unfortunately, many operations discover that their emergency plans don’t work only after they’ve been put to the test. They don’t do the necessary analysis to make them prepared for any situation and that lack of thorough preparation costs them severely.

We’ve seen in recent years where the lack of a proven spill containment plan has led to extensive environmental damage on top of financial loss. Most of the time, these organizations are under the impression that they are prepared for even a major accident but realize quickly that that isn’t the case. If they act quickly upon this realization and consult with an expert team, there’s a chance they can minimize their losses. Even in the midst of an oil spill, Stewart Technology Associates can come to the aid of clients who find their spill containment isn’t working.

STA is also able to carry out a marine accident investigation to help pinpoint the cause of the accident. This is a critical step to take because knowing why the accident happened is vital to stopping the problem as well as preventing something similar from occurring again. When called upon, STA will immediately begin work to improve your spill containment as well as begin strategizing for oil spill cleanup. It will still be possible to save some of the spilled oil and Stewart Technology Associates can help with that process.

Clients that have a preexisting relationship with STA will already be familiar with our approach and know that the sooner we’re on the job, the better. Over the years, those relationships have been formed and made stronger each time a client relies on any of the services STA provides. In addition to emergency spill containment, organizations in the offshore industry have come to trust the data that STA is able to prove through the analysis of their structures, including steel catenary risers, single point moorings, wave power systems, pile anchors and more. Stewart Technology Associates is a name that has the respect of drilling operations from all over the world because of the consistently high level of service we’ve delivered for over 25 years.
