S1E2 - Engineering Beyond the Code: Snapback Simulations and Data Driven Decisions (w/Jordan Butler)

S1E2 - Engineering Beyond the Code: Snapback Simulations and Data Driven Decisions (w/Jordan Butler)

Can data‑driven design make mooring operations safer than the rule‑book ever imagined?
Senior Structural & Maritime Engineer Jordan Butler (WGA) explains how 20 terabytes of snapback simulations are rewriting global standards—and why engineers must look beyond compliance to manage real‑world risk.

Guest bio: Jordan chairs PIANC Working Group 251, leading the creation of international guidelines for snapback arresting systems. He combines hands‑on design with cutting‑edge computational modelling of mooring‑line failure at ports worldwide.
