From the deepest subsea developments to the most extensive and complex offshore and onshore infrastructures, the 36,500 employees of Technip propose the best solutions and most innovative technologies to address the global energy challenge. The engineering company constructs subsea worksites, designs and supplies piping networks, and sells fixed or rigid pipelines to companies with onshore and offshore needs. Read More
Solution	Technip equipped itself with PTC Mathcad, a technical calculations software developed by PTC. The software reduced operations to a minimum by automating the analytical calculation process. It also enabled Technip to adapt far more quickly to the many developments in calculation over the past 20 years. PTC Mathcad offers the advantage of providing high transparency and perfect legibility for all operations carried out. The software's presentation capacities made it possible to obtain a high degree of calculation transparency and therefore enabled simple and efficient verification. The software also proved highly useful in terms of a log in the event of auditing, particularly in the area of quality control. Read More Log in to view content
