The endorsement of our management system to these industry-recognised and respected global standards reinforces our position to undertake the demanding challenges of our offshore renewables business. It also adds significant value to the services provided by Technip Offshore Wind in that it will provide clients with a heightened assurance of the company’s commitment to best-in-class HSE performance.”

The scope of certification comprehensively covers Technip’s market-leading business and operational capabilities which span project management, engineering, and design and installation solutions for the offshore renewables industry including cable lay, marine operations, logistics management, maintenance, repair, and associated site activities.
