Technip profile
Confirmed leadership and proprietary technologies in 3 business activities:
Offshore
In the Offshore business segmentTechnip performs engineering,procurement, construction,installation, commissioning and therefurbishment/upgrading of offshorefacilities for the oil & gas industry.
Technip provides these services forfixed platforms in shallow water withconventional sub-structures and selfinstalling platforms such as the TPG500 and for deepwater facilitiesincluding Spar, semi-submersible, TLP,FPSO and FLNG units. Technip is aworld leader in floatover installationof topsides and its R&D effort isfocused on technology transfer forlocal content and new frontier areassuch as ultra-deepwater and the Arctic.
Onshore
Technip covers the full range ofonshore facilities for the oil and gaschain, petrochemicals and otherenergy industries (nuclear,renewables including biofuels andoffshore wind). It holds manyproprietary cutting-edgetechnologies and is the leader in thedesign and construction of LNG andgas treatment plants as well asethylene, hydrogen and syngas units.
Technip is also one of the key actorsin refining and petrochemical units,and has developed a leadership inthe fertilizer industry. Moreover, theGroup is very active in non-energyactivities such as mining and metals,life sciences, buildings andinfrastructures.
Subsea
In subsea hydrocarbon fielddevelopment, Technip’s activitiesinclude the design, manufacture andinstallation of rigid and flexible subseapipelines and umbilicals. Thanks to itsportfolio of technologies and industrialand operational assets, Technip offers aunique vertically integrated model inthe industry.
The Group has 3 flexible pipemanufacturing plants, 4 umbilicalproduction units, 9 logistics andpipeline assembly bases, and 1construction yard. Technip’s worldwideleadership is supported by a modernfleet of vessels for subsea construction,pipelay development (rigid and flexiblepipes using S-Lay, J-Lay or Reeledtechnology) and heavy lift applications.

The world’s largest unbonded flexiblepipe manufacturing facility
FLEXI FRANCE is located in Le Trait, Normandy, onthe banks of the river Seine nestled between theports of Rouen and Le Havre. This location hasmultiple benefits including direct access to all themajor shipping routes within the English Channel,the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
Serving an extensive and diverse scope of international clientele involvedin offshore oil and gas production, FLEXI FRANCE's manufacturing plant hassupplied approximately 10,000 km of flexible pipe over the last 40 years.Technip’s flexible pipe manufacture started in 1971.
The flexible pipe products produced by FLEXI FRANCE have attained aninternational track record second-to-none for innovation and reliability. Thisreputation is based on providing high-performance material for offshore oilfielddevelopments.
The site is an all-comprising unit, where the main activities such as themanufacture of production flowlines, R&D and the supply of flexible pipefor Drilling and Refining Applications Pipes Supply (DRAPS) are conducted.
This world leading facility is equipped with a 210-meter-long quay, providingdeepwater access to all large ocean-going vessels, thus making delivery andloading both cost and time effective.
