Our history
1992
Philippe Marchal founds ITP Interpipe in Louveciennes, France with a small team of engineers.
1993
Total entrusts ITP Interpipe for their first PiP: the Dunbar Project in North Sea.
1995
Shell calls upon ITP Interpipe for their ETAP development. To address their challenge linked to High Temperature and High Pressure, ITP Interpipe uses Izoflex for the first time.
1997
TOTAL solicits ITP Interpipe for their Tchibeli project in Congo. An evolution of Dunbar and ETAP, the swaged PIP design delivered is now known as ITP Interpipe’s standard ITP S- and J-lay PIP
1999
ITP Interpipe creates a subsea LNG pipeline based on a 36% Ni pipe. ITP Interpipe’s electrically heat traced flowline (EHTF) also comes to life in 1999. With the PIP’s superior thermal properties, this system can rely on efficient resistive heating.
2001
A Joint Industry Project is set up to validate the proof of concept of ITP Interpipe’s EHTF solution in Chevron’s facilities in Texas (USA). At the same time, a JIP is set up in France at Engie’s liquid natural gas facilities to validate the Cryogenic PIP solution.
2003
Houston office opening.
2004
For LPG export at Pluspetrol’s CAMISEA project in Peru, ITP Interpipe delivers a subsea cryogenic pipe solution that is the world’s first execution of the sort. It is also a great example of terminal architecture that is compatible with local communities and has a low impact on marine environment.
2007
ITP Interpipe obtains the DNV certification for its Subsea Cryogenic PIP for LNG.
2008
ITP Interpipe launches its own fabrication site in Normandy, near the Caen Harbour. ITP Interpipe experiments with a first application of i-tubing in Gabon.
2014
ITP Interpipe creates a custom designed 560 °C solar concentrator for Heliofocus in Israel.
2017
Kuala Lumpur office opening.
2017
ITP Interpipe delivers the world’s first fully buried LNG pipeline in India.
2020
ITP Interpipe is proud to announce two world firsts in 2020, with its electrically heat traced flowline operating in AkerBP’s first production field and the hottest ever subsea bitumen pipeline implemented for ExxonMobil in Singapore.
