  • Engineering and fabrication of floating platforms for deep water (Spar, semi submersible platforms, FPSOs)
  • Leadership in floatover technology
  • Management of construction yards

Technip Australia’s experience in floaters and fixed platforms is complemented by the completion of the Kupe Wellhead Platform for Origin, the Mutineer Exeter FPSO Topsides project for Modec, the Otway Wellhead Platform for Woodside, and Murphy’s Kikeh Project.

Offshore fields of activity include:

  • Engineering
  • Procurement
  • Construction

for floaters, fixed platforms and topsides.

Onshore

Technip Australia utilises the Group's strong technological expertise and proprietary technologies to position itself as a key player in the onshore industry in Australia and neighbouring countries. Technip Australia's in-house engineering disciplines, combined with access to technologies either proprietary or third-party, enables it to offer a wide range of services, from project inception studies through to execution and start-up.

Recent onshore project experience includes Origin Energy’s Kupe Gas Project in New Zealand; Woodside's Otway Gas Plant near Port Campbell, Victoria; the CSBP Ammonia Fertilizer Plant Expansion in Kwinana, Western Australia, the Koniambo Nickel Project in New Caledonia and more recently, the KNR Hydrogen Plant in Kwinana, Western Australia.

Deepwater Division

With the offshore oil and gas industry continuing to venture into deeper and more challenging environments, the Deepwater Division was created to provide clients with the following capabilities:

Subsea Engineering Capabilities:

Technip has extensive experience assisting clients during all successive phases of a subsea project – concept development / pre-FEED, FEED and execution. Our professional approach progresses from a comprehensive evaluation of concept options through to technical studies, cost and risk analysis, to an optimum subsea solution.
The Deepwater Division has immediate access to a wide range of deepwater specialists who have expertise in flow assurance, seafloor structures such as subsea trees, manifolds, cost estimating, risk assessment, operability / constructability, marine services, structural design, pipeline engineering and riser technology.

Recent project experience includes:

FEED - Origin Kupe Pipeline FEED, BHPB Stybarrow North FEED and pre-FEED, Woodside Vincent technical definition and support to Murphy Kikeh subsea

FEED / EPCM – Chevron Gorgon Upstream JV

EPCI – Origin Kupe Pipeline, BHPB Stybarrow flexibles, Murphy Kikeh subsea and Woodside Enfield and Vincent subsea.


Floater and Riser Engineering Capabilities:

Floating Hull and Dynamic Riser design are two of the greatest challenges in any deepwater development. Our skilled team of riser engineers and specialists has extensive experience with Top Tensioned Risers (TTRs), Steel Catenary Risers (SCRs), Free Standing Hybrid Risers (FSHRs), flexible risers, jumpers, umbilicals and their interface with a variety of hull types including Spars, semi-submersibles, FPSOs and TLPs.

Recent project involvement includes:

BHPB Stybarrow flexible riser, Murphy Kikeh TTR, flexible riser and Spar, Shell Perdido Spar, BP Thunderhorse Semi-submersible platform and SCR, Petrobras P-51  Semi-submersible platform.

Quality, Health, Safety & Environment

Management Systems

Technip Australia has been certified by Det Norske Veritas to the following standards:

AS/NZS4801: 2001 Australian Standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems - (402 Kb - PDF)

OHSAS18001: 2007 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems - (368 Kb - PDF)

AS/NZS ISO 14001: 2004 Environmental Management Systems - (408 Kb - PDF)

AS/NZS ISO 9001: 2008 Quality Management Systems - (238 Kb - PDF)

Technip Australia's QHSE Management System determines how it conducts its business safely, while minimizing impact of its operations on the environment.

Technip Australia recognizes that the enrolment of each and every individual in effective Health, Safety and Environmental processes is a key driver in achieving overall business excellence.

Effective management and the continual improvement of the Health, Safety and Environmental performance is fundamental to Technip Australia's operations and long-term profitability.

Safety and Environmental Recognition Scheme (SERS)

Technip Australia operates a proactive Safety and Environment Recognition Scheme (SERS) that establishes agreed benchmarks for safety performance based on leading safety indicators. Our philosophy is to measure performance by the amount of energy being placed into preventing incidents and prevailing incidents and injuries, and not just to react should these incidents occur. Each project is required to establish proactive safety and environmental targets and then measure its performance against a target on a daily basis.

Meeting agreed targets results in project donations to encourage ownership of this scheme, Technip Perth worksite employees are asked to nominate the suitable charities and environmental organisations. Meeting agreed targets results in project donations to the nominated charity.

In the spirit of local community awareness, Technip Australia projects will generally contribute to at least one local charity or environmental organization.

Safety Awards

In 2003, 2004, 2007 and most recently 2008 Technip Australia was awarded the local industry Golden Safeway Award for Safety performance by the Industrial Foundation for Accident Prevention (IFAP). The award levels are Bronze, Silver and the highest award is Gold.

The criteria for receiving the award were based on the effectiveness of Technip's Safety Management System, the staff ownership of the system and overall safety performance throughout the period.

In 2009, Technip was awarded a Road Safety and Innovation Achievement Award 2008/2009 by the New Zealand Government, for the implementation of the Kupe Gas Project Road Safety Program.

Motor vehicle accidents were the greatest single hazard during the construction of Kupe Production Station. This was due to over 900 employees commuting to site and Taranaki weather is particularly harsh and hazardous with strong winds and icy roads.

The Technip Road Safety Program included:

  • Continual road safety promotion and awareness
  • Buses, designated drivers & Defensive driver training
  • Interaction with local community and emergency services
  • Strict compliance to project road safety rules


The benefits resulting from the implementation of the program included:

  • No road traffic related injuries
  • Greater road safety awareness among staff and contractors
  • Technip strong corporate citizenship with New Zealand community
  • Recognition from local community and police

Environmental initiative

As part of Technip Australia's environmental commitment and as part of a local government initiative, Technip Australia has become a TravelSmart workplace. The aim of the initiative is to encourage alternative means of transport to work, such as cycling, public transport and walking. The scheme has been extremely successful.

In promotion of the scheme, Technip Australia has been involved in workshops with the government Public Transport Authority and the Cycling Instead organisation.

Technip Australia in Perth has promoted events such as the "Bike to Work Breakfast", the "Freeway Bike Hike" and raffling off of public transport tickets.
