Billy Pugh 公司的歷史
History of the Billy Pugh Company
Billy Pugh Company 成立于 1957 年，當時正值近海石油和天然氣行業(yè)的起步階段。Billy Pugh 先生是在科珀斯克里斯蒂 (Corpus Christi) 近海工作的補給/船員船上的一名甲板手。Pugh 先生在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間曾在美國海岸警衛(wèi)隊服役，一生中的大部分時間都在與水打交道。Pugh 先生生前親眼目睹了人員上下鉆井平臺的過程，非常擔心他們的安全。鉆井工人正在使用貨物網從船上移到鉆井平臺。乘客會掛在貨物網的索具上，然后被真正地放在船的甲板或鉆井平臺上。當 Pugh 先生將這種危險報告給鉆井主管時——這看起來非常危險，而且他有更好的主意；他被告知要回去工作。幾天后，發(fā)生了一起嚴重事故，奪去了兩名鉆井工人的生命，并嚴重傷害了另一名工人。鉆井平臺主管派人找 Pugh 先生，問他有什么想法。Pugh 先生描述了一種“錐形”系統(tǒng)，該系統(tǒng)允許人員站在環(huán)上的同時騎在外面，這將使他們能夠稍微向前傾斜并更容易地登上和離開轉移裝置。Billy Pugh 公司誕生了。
Billy Pugh Company was established in 1957 during the infancy of the offshore oil and gas industry. Mr. Billy Pugh was a deck hand on a supply/crew boat working offshore Corpus Christi. Mr. Pugh had been in the United States Coast Guard during World War II and had been working around water most of his life. During his lifetime, Mr. Pugh saw how the personnel were being transferred on and off the drilling platforms and was concerned for their safety. The rig hands were being moved from the boat to rig using a cargo net. The passengers would hang on to the rigging of the cargo net and were literally set down onto the deck of the boat or the drilling platform. When Mr. Pugh brought this hazard up to the drilling superintendent- that this looked very dangerous and that he had a better idea; he was told to go back to work. A few days later a serious accident occurred taking the lives of a two of rig hands and seriously injuring another. The rig superintendent sent for Mr. Pugh and asked him what his idea was. Mr. Pugh described a “cone shaped” system that allowed personnel to ride on the outside while standing on a ring which would allow them to lean slightly forward and more easily embark and disembark the transfer device. The Billy Pugh Company was born.
在接下來的幾十年里，Billy Pugh 公司成為海上石油和天然氣行業(yè)的類代名詞。新鉆機手通過的第一個儀式是他第一次乘坐著名的 Billy Pugh 網。
Over the next several decades, Billy Pugh Company became synonymous with the offshore oil and gas industry. One of the first rites of passage for a new rig hand was his first ride on the famous Billy Pugh Net.
在那段時間（1960 年代初期），美國國家航空航天局 (NASA) 與 Billy Pugh 公司接洽，希望由Billy Pugh 公司設計和測試宇航員水回收系統(tǒng)。阿波羅登月任務將全部使用Billy Pugh 公司 X-872 直升機救援網在太空艙濺落后營救宇航員。在阿波羅 11 號上使用的 X-872 在華盛頓特區(qū)的史密森學會上有過展示。
Also of interest during that time period (the early 1960’s) NASA approached Billy Pugh Company to design and test a system for water recovery of astronauts. The Apollo moon missions would all use the Billy Pugh Company X-872 Helicopter Rescue net to rescue the astronauts after the splash down of their capsule. The X-872 that was used on Apollo 11 has its own display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.
1989 年春天，Billy Pugh 決定是時候退休并出售他的公司了。他有一個當?shù)嘏笥?Jimmy Storm（他創(chuàng)立了 Storm Drilling 和 Marine Drilling），他告訴他想賣掉公司。Storm 先生聯(lián)系了一位名叫 Paul Liberato 的好友，看看 Paul 是否有興趣成為 Billy Pugh 公司的總裁和所有者。在找到一些額外的投資者后，公司被賣給了 Liberato 先生，新的投資集團于 1989 年 10 月成立。不久之后（1990 年），Paul 任命 Frank Liberato 擔任總經理并負責公司的日常運營公司。在接下來的幾年里，F(xiàn)rank 擁有人事管理、產品開發(fā)和將創(chuàng)意轉化為可行產品的能力。
In the spring of 1989, Billy Pugh decided it was time to retire and sell his company. He had a local friend Jimmy Storm (who founded both Storm Drilling and Marine Drilling) that he told about his desire to sell the company. Mr. Storm contacted a family friend named Paul Liberato to see if Paul had interest in becoming President and owner of Billy Pugh Company. After some additional investors were located, the company was sold to Mr. Liberato and the new investment group was formed in October of 1989. Soon after (1990) Paul brought Frank Liberato on to act as General Manager and run the day to day operations of the company. Frank has many talents including personnel management, product development and the ability to turn ideas into workable products.In the next several years, many products were brought on line for Billy Pugh Company developed by the Liberato brothers.
海上石油和天然氣行業(yè)的獨特之處在于它希望為整個行業(yè)創(chuàng)造更安全的工作環(huán)境。離岸行業(yè)總是愿意幫助開發(fā)和分享對每個人都有幫助的新概念。此次合作產生了新產品，如 OMB籃子、WVO-工作背心、DTP 管鉤、抗纏結標簽線、剛性標簽線和 DB-1 吊桿騎行籃。所有這些都是對他們產品線的完善補充；然而，沒有什么能像 X-904 人員轉移裝置那樣改變 Billy Pugh 公司的面貌。
The offshore oil and gas industry is somewhat unique in its desire to create a safer work environment for the entire industry. The offshore industry is always willing to help develop and share ideas for new concepts that will help everyone. This collaboration was responsible for new products like the OMB Man Basket, the WVO-workvest, the DTP Pipe Hook, the Tangle Resistant Tag Line, the Rigid Tag Line and the DB-1 Derrick Riding Basket. All of these are excellent additions to our product line; However, nothing has changed the landscape of Billy Pugh Company like the X-904 Personnel Transfer Device.
在 2000 年代中期，顯然是時候用新的人員轉移裝置取代行業(yè)標準 X-871 人員籃了。在接下來的兩年里，原型被建造和設計出來。數(shù)百名人員被要求參加核心小組，以確定新設備的外觀及其應具備的安全功能。
In the mid-2000’s, it became apparent that it was time for a new personnel transfer device to supplant the industry standard, the X-871 personnel basket. For the next two years, prototypes were built and designed. Hundreds of personnel were asked to participate in focus groups to determine what the new device would look like and what safety features it should have.
第四艘原型機建成后，在大型半潛器上進行了測試。與他們進行的所有原型測試一樣，他們也進行了調查。他們?yōu)槌藛T提供了一項調查，為裝配工和起重機操作員提供了一項調查。他們的研究結果發(fā)現(xiàn) X-904 超出了預期。
After the fourth prototype was built, it was tested on a large semi-submersible. As with all of the prototype testing they conducted, they included surveys. They provided one survey for the riders and one for the riggers and crane operators. The results of our research found that the X-904 exceeded our expectations.
從那時起，他們在這款優(yōu)質產品上取得了如此巨大的成功，以至于它真正推銷了自己。從 X-904 出現(xiàn)在現(xiàn)場，消息傳開，它就成功了。售出的數(shù)量遠遠超過了他們在該計劃開始之前所做的任何預測。X-904 現(xiàn)已成為全球大多數(shù)運營商和承包商的指定產品。
From that point forward, they has had such great success with this fine product that it really sells itself. Once the X-904 was in the field the word got out and it took off. The numbers theye has sold has far exceeded any projections they made prior to the start of this program. The X-904 is now specified with most operators and contractors world-wide.
Billy Pugh 公司會繼續(xù)努力提供優(yōu)質的安全產品并繼續(xù)創(chuàng)新。在客戶的幫助下，他們始終堅持多聽少說。更重要的是，Billy Pugh 公司將繼承 Pugh 先生的愿景，盡自己的一份力量創(chuàng)造盡可能安全的工作環(huán)境。
Billy Pugh Company continue to strive to make the best quality safety products available and to continue to innovate. With the help of our customers, we will continue to listen more than we talk. More importantly, we will carry on Mr. Pugh’s vision and do our part to create the safest work environment possible.
