Subsea Pipeline Design and Offshore Engineering

Innovative and sustainable solutions for the design of offshore pipeline transport systems for energy fluids, from traditional carriers (natural gas, oil & gas) to new vectors such as hydrogen, CO₂ and green gas, as well as subsea cable transmission systems.

Optimization, safety and marine ecosystem protection

Offshore design is constantly evolving and project complexity is steadily increasing. It is necessary to provide an increasingly specialized and cross-disciplinary approach, able to optimize resources and costs while ensuring the highest levels of reliability and safety to protect operators, end users and the marine and coastal ecosystem.

Cutting-edge technologies and continuous engineering support

Today more than ever, the use of advanced technologies, tools and skills is fundamental, promoting an innovative design concept that combines functionality, safety and sustainability.

Our offshore engineering and design unit leverages the decades-long experience of its engineers in the search for innovative, effective and sustainable solutions, providing support in the design of subsea systems during the conceptual development, basic engineering, FEED and detailed design phases, as well as in the most complex integrated stages of engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI contracts).

We guarantee a level of design detail and quality that meets the needs of customers and stakeholders through an engineering approach focused on full compliance with functional and regulatory requirements, cost optimization and environmental protection. We offer state-of-the-art solutions, products and technologies thanks to continuous technical updates and strong relationships with leading companies in the sector.

We effectively integrate the key aspects of design: route selection, material choice and definition of interventions, thanks to continuous interaction with our GIS, FEM and CFD experts to optimize design solutions.

We offer PMC services, providing support to operators, installers and contractors during the delicate phases of design verification and technical alignment.

We also support the design of coastal landfalls, both for pipelines and cables, with particular attention to trenchless technologies. These low-impact solutions are characterized by reduced interference with the surrounding environment, making them less invasive and more respectful of the marine and coastal ecosystem compared to traditional open-cut techniques.

We constantly update our expertise in this field by actively collaborating with industry associations, both to promote awareness of innovative solutions as alternatives to traditional excavation techniques and by participating in working groups focused on updating the procedures and guidelines to be followed during design and execution phases.

In recent years, the Offshore Systems Design unit has also applied its expertise to the offshore wind sector, engaging with both Italian and international industry associations and participating in innovative projects, events and workshops in Italy and across Europe.

Our Goals rely on the strong integrity's principles that guide us. Find out more about Techfem governance
