control center, maintenance buildings


 

Technip, and more especially its affiliate in Düsseldorf, is one of the most experienced pipeline builders in the world, with a reputation of 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.

In January 2001, Technip Germany and MAATS B.V. have pooled their pipeline construction equipment into Maats European Pipeline Rentals B.V (MEPR) whose headquarters are located in the Netherlands.
The rental fleet pool of MEPR B.V. consists of more than 500 items and MEPR is the top equipment rental Company in Europe and among the largest in the world.

Technip is the world's leading company for the conceptual design, engineering and manufacture of in-tank flexible pipe systems. The Coflexip® drain and rim fire protection systems are well known in the industry and have been installed in thousands of storage tanks worldwide.

Coflexlite® is a new RTP (Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe) now being offered to the market which requires the fast installation of non-metallic, corrosion-free flexible pipelines for the transportation of oil, gas and water.
