Technical Expertise

Need support?

Our teams contribute their technical expertise during the design, engineering, construction supervision, and commissioning phases of production facilities—from creation through decommissioning—as well as throughout the entire lifecycle of our clients’ facilities. We can support industrial clients on fixed-price, cost-controlled, deliverable-based, or labor-based projects.

We maintain a high level of technical expertise and provide support ranging from client-specific expertise and discipline-specific studies to complex multi-disciplinary studies for the industrial, infrastructure, energy and environmental, civil and military naval, and nuclear sectors.

Our added value

  • Strong technical and regulatory expertise

  • Strong knowledge of the processes used and our clients’ industries

  • Long-term involvement on-site

  • Support from experts and technical leads by discipline

  • Strong project management and planning capabilities applied to framework agreements

  • Flexibility of our offering

  • Knowledge of local markets and communities

We are committed to fostering open communication and close collaboration with our clients, as evidenced by our discipline-specific or multi-disciplinary framework agreements designed to build lasting relationships.
