Trump’s ‘Drill, Baby, Drill’ – What it means for UK asset owners
Donald Trump is back in office, and with that comes a renewed push for US fossil fuel dominance. His “Drill, baby, drill” stance is already influencing global energy markets, and for those managing oil, gas, and renewable assets in the UK, the ripple effects could be significant.
Project spotlight: Unloading arm maintenance using rope access for LNG sites
Maintaining unloading arms at liquefied natural gas (LNG) sites is critical for ensuring safe and efficient operations. These articulated mechanical arms, essential for transporting liquefied natural gas from tankers to terminals, must withstand extreme temperatures as low as -162°C. For this project, Sutro Group deployed its rope access engineering specialists, supported by NDT and drone inspection services, to maintain the unloading arms at various LNG sites in the UK. The project was completed ahead of schedule, within budget, and with zero lost time incidents.
How UAVs are transforming the energy sector: Insights and innovations
As the commercial and civil market for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) continues to grow, so does their role in industries such as energy. According to a recent article in PES wind the UAV market has expanded significantly over the last two decades, reaching a worldwide value of $2.9 billion by 2018 and forecast to grow to $4.7 billion by 2028, with nearly one million drones expected to be in operation in the UK alone by 2030 (PwC, 2022). This rapid growth signals the increasing importance of UAVs in sectors like energy, where innovation and efficiency.
Rope Access safety: The importance of IRATA training and modern inspection techniques
As Rope Access Operations Manager at Sutro Group, I’ve seen first-hand how essential proper training, procedures, and technology are in reducing the risks of working at height. Despite advancements, the latest statistics from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reveal a concerning trend.?
In 2022/23, over 5,000 people in Great Britain were injured at work due to falls from height, and 40 people tragically lost their lives. The impact is felt far beyond the individual, with nearly 992,000 working days lost due to non-fatal falls and an estimated ￡770 million cost to employers, individuals, and the government. These figures have remained alarmingly consistent, underscoring the need for improved safety measures.
