Pile Anchors

STA Consulting Services

[Posted on April 6]

In the marine industry, you have to have a mind that thinks of safety first. Too many things can go wrong if you do not have the mindset that safety comes first before anything. However, sometimes things do happen. When they do, you will need a good expert marine witness to come to your aid. At Stewart Technology Associates (STA), we can assist you with just about any marine engineering issue. One of the issues we can help with is pile anchors.

Pile anchors are one of the most widely used types of anchors for large offshore structures. They are similar to conventional piles, but they carry the load differently. Conventional anchors transfer compressive loads from a supported structure to a foundation. Pile anchors transfer tensile forces from floating objects to the sea bed. At STA, we know how to provide expert witness testimony if you have an issue with one of these kinds of anchors.

We Find Out What the Problem Is
Finding out the entire scenario of an accident is what our experts can assist you with. We can find out the cause and how to go about preventing it from happening again. If, say, there is an accident involving pile anchors, our experts will scour every detail and be ready to provide testimony if the case goes to litigation.  We have handled all kinds of cases with marine organizations around the world. These cases include vessel sinkings and groundings, vessel collisions, barge buckling, major structural damage to jack-ups, anchor failures, mooring system failures and much more.
