The TPG 500 is a self-installing fixed platform which is constructed, equipped and tested onshore and then towed to site.

In 2006, Technip delivered its third operational TPG 500 platform, in the Caspian Sea

 

With the Unideck® technology for the installation of topsides by floatover and hydraulic jacking, platform decks are completely assembled and tested onshore, thus reducing hook-up and commissioning operations at sea.

In the last 20 years, Technip has performed 13 floatover installations, including 4 by the Unideck® floatover method. At the end of 2005, Technip broke a world record with the floatover of an 18,000-tonne deck in the Gulf of Guinea.
