Technip, and in particular its operating center in Düsseldorf, Germany, is one of the world’s most experienced pipeline builders, with a reputation for completing projects on schedule even under most adverse circumstances:

• extreme climatic conditions: very cold weather with snow in Russia; deserts with extreme heat and sand storms in the Middle East; monsoons with heavy rainfall and high humidity in Southeast Asia. 
• difficult geological situations: steep rocky mountains in the Alps and Andes; jungle and swamps in Thailand, Indonesia and Nigeria; deserts with huge sand dunes in Saudi Arabia and Yemen; archaeological sites in Egypt and Iraq. 

Technip has expertise in building pipelines with large diameters of 1,500 mm or more, applying the latest welding procedures for high tensile steel (X80, X100), and complying with stringent environmental restrictions by crossing large rivers with horizontal directional drilling.
