STA Provides Continued Innovation Regarding Steel Catenary Risers And Riser Analysis [Posted on May 16] Stewart Technology Associates has long been a trusted name in the marine and offshore industries, ever since we were established in 1986. Since that time, we've continued to serve our clients, who come from all over the world by providing a wide range of services and by staying on the cutting edge of this constantly evolving industry . Our company specializes in engineering consultancy for offshore and marine structures, including structural design and analysis, risk assessment, geotechnical engineering, hydrodynamic analysis, mooring design and analysis, marine simulators and a number of other analysis crucial to those doing offshore and marine work. One area that we've become known for in particular is in regards to steel catenary risers. There are a number of variables that go into the successful operation of offshore drilling and having reliable steel catenary risers is one of those things that needs to be monitored closely in order to achieve those goals. At Stewart Technology Associates, we work with our clients on issues dealing with steel catenary risers as well as work internally to innovate in this field. By giving our clients modern riser analysis on their steel catenary risers, they're able to make the necessary adjustments and improvements when needed. As noted, our clients come from all over the world and include major oil companies, drilling contractors, government agencies and financial institutions. Stewart Technology Associates, (STA) along with our partners, possess the knowledge and experience that allows us to bring valuable insight into every engineering discipline. Our background combined with with our latest engineering software and extensive technical library are among the reasons that our clients continue to utilize our services. This background covers the areas of naval architecture, offshore engineering, process engineering, cost estimation, civil and mechanical engineering, hydraulics and fluid mechanics, and geotechnical engineering with emphasis on soil/structure interactions. For example, we've long partnered with with Orcina, a leading software developer and creator of the OrcaFlex software package. OrcaFlex allows for design and analysis of various marine systems such as riser and mooring systems. In addition to these purposes, the OrcaFlex software has also been used for research into wave power systems as a way of creating renewable energy. This is something that is understandably growing in demand over recent months and years and will only become of greater concern over the next decade. STA will continue to be a leader in this area and others facing in the industry today and in the future.
