Facilities and Equipment STC maintains six major facilities, each strategically located throughout the United States at major ports and transportation routes. The main office is in Neptune Beach, Florida, minutes from Mayport Naval Station and downtown Jacksonville. Here, on over two acres, the corporate offices are maintained. This facility provides STC with warehouse and shop space in excess of 10,000 square feet, which is supplemented by another 15,000 square feet at STC’s downtown Jacksonville warehouse. STC’s other facilities are in Norfolk, Virginia, Chula Vista, California, Moss Point, Mississippi, and Ingleside, Texas, and Bremerton, Washington all which provide space for local support staff and warehousing. The foregoing locations give STC the mobility to respond quickly to the needs of STC’s customers not only in facility areas, but also throughout the country. STC has traveled as far north as Portland, Maine, as far south as Key West, Florida, and as far west as San Diego, California. STC now travels beyond the mainland, recently completing work upon special request in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. With this expanded demand, STC began international service, recently completing work in Gaeta, Italy and Basrec, Bahrain. The mobility and responsiveness of STC is also the result of STC’s policy of maintaining permanent, full-time crews which may be pulled from any, or all, of this facilities. This aspect is also credited as playing a significant role in STC’s ability to respond to a variety of projects. STC, unlike a large segment of its competitors, also maintains a complete inventory of product and equipment. In doing so, STC can limit the immobility which arises from late, or absent, deliveries of either. In owning its own equipment, STC can control work quality and timeliness as well as work-site safety. This has resulted in a impeccable reputation and outstanding OSHA safety record. STC owns and maintains a fleet of vehicles which provides ready delivery of crew and equipment to job sites within 1 to 3 days.
