TECHNIP, more than 30 years of partnership history
The first dedicated to the manufacture of flexible pipelines equipment were studied on drawing boards in the late 1970s in the research department in close collaboration with engineers coming from the worlds of oil and cables.
The major problem in the manufacture of flexible pipes is handling them and keeps them in their straight position during manufacturing pathways. Develop the expertise in manufacturing equipment has logically evolved into the equipment on Pipe-lay vessel.

Design on drawing boards in the late 1970s
The creation of the first equipment is the result of the marriage of knowledge in the petroleum, manufacturing of cables and steel equipment.
Handle and protect heavy and extremely long loads (several hundred kilograms per meter – up to more than a kilometer long)
The specificity of the developed equipment was primarily due to loads involved and the length of the products handled. Powers quickly implemented and security compared to users are proportions of these quantities.
Pipeline laying equipment on board vessels – DNV rules compliance
In addition to flexible pipes manufacturing constraints, those due to acceleration of navigation and hostile environment.
