A KEY PLAYER IN SUBSEA PIPELINES FOR THE ENERGY INDUSTRY<\/h4>\n

With our brand Geocean<\/a>, we offer our clients a globally recognised expertise in shallow water marine works<\/strong>. We thus carry out highly technical turnkey projects (EPCI) for energy players<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our agile structure and our proprietary tools, equipment and technologies<\/strong>, we are able to work on all terrains, including the most complex ones, in particular for subsea infrastructure<\/strong> for oil and gas terminals – conventional buoy mooring (CBM), single buoy mooring (SBM), floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) – or offshore water intakes and outfalls<\/strong> (energy, desalination and water treatment).<\/p>\n

Geocean is also specialised in landfall and sinking works<\/strong>. It is able to propose the most suitable design for the site constraints, and to implement solutions ranging from horizontal directional drilling (HDD) to micro-tunneling and standard pipeline laying.<\/p>\n

Our extensive engineering capabilities<\/strong>, supported by our own Engineering Department and internal synergies with the support of VINCI Construction Grands Projets\u2019 Engineering Department, enable us to support our clients throughout the project life cycle, from the study phase (bathymetry, geophysics, topography, geodesy) to the delivery and commissioning of the infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The experience gained from major projects on five continents is the basis of our ability to develop tailor-made and competitive solutions<\/strong> to our clients\u2019 specific technical and environmental challenges.<\/p>\n

PIPES FOR WATER TREATMENT, MINING AND POWER GENERATION<\/h4>\n

We engineer, procure, manufacture and install subsea water pipes<\/strong> for sewage and desalination plants, for power plant cooling circuits and for the mining industry, in all materials<\/strong>: high density polyethylene (HDPE), glass reinforced plastic (GRP), steel… depending on the constraints imposed by the environment of each project.<\/p>\n

PIPES FOR THE TRANSPORT OF HYDROCARBONS<\/h4>\n

Our expertise in all methods of pipeline installation in shallow waters<\/strong> (S-lay, push-pull, bottom pull or towing) guarantees that our clients will find the most appropriate solutions for their projects, particularly for the installation of any terminal connection<\/strong> infrastructure, both onshore and offshore.<\/p>\n

EXPERTISE FOR THE ENERGY TRANSITION<\/h4>\n

Geocean is also leveraging its historical expertise in the oil and gas and hydraulic industries to develop projects that promote the energy transition<\/strong>, in particular marine renewable energy<\/strong> and ultra-deep-sea water cooling systems.<\/p>\n
