UK Engineering Energy Progress on UKCS

Ponticelli UK is busy growing its presence in the vital UK Continental Shelf energy space. With construction, engineering, and maintenance capabilities that allow for industrial processes to succeed, this is a business that guarantees safety and performance. UK MD, Olivier Renaud explains more about their fantastic growth story so far.

Activity on the UK Continental Shelf, in the cold and deep waters that surround the island, is changing. With the country still largely powered by natural gas and oil, reserves are prized and precious but becoming more elusive. At the same time, the energy transition is gathering momentum with significant investment being made to secure the UK’s position within the developing renewables marketplace. It’s a complicated environment and challenging when planning longer-term strategies.

The skills required to grow in this changing energy marketplace are extensive. Engineering, construction, and maintenance will remain key to successful and sustainable energy production. Drawing on decades of expertise enabling change across the energy sector, Ponticelli UK is fully committed to leading the energy transition and supporting businesses to develop innovative energy projects.

Part of the global Ponticelli Group, family-owned and headquartered in France, Ponticelli UK represents the regional arm of this multinational organisation, with operating turnover of €1bn in 2022.
