Key projectsHigh and Extra High voltage underground and submarine power transmission
cables and systems, industrial cables for applications in high-tech sectors (from Oil, Gas &
Petrochemicals, transport and mining to renewable energy), and optical cables for voice, video and
data transmission: these are strategic industries and markets for Prysmian. In these industries the
level of technology, the ability to constantly innovate and the commitment to providing high
value-added services are factors of differentiation and competitive position.
During the latest years we carried out major submarine power interconnection projects for
utilities and grid operators, such as the
Neptune
and
Transbay
projects in the United States, the
Spain-to-Majorca
project, the
SA.PE.I
and
Sicily-Calabria
projects in Europe,
the Doha Bay
and GCCIA projects in the Middle East, the
Basslink
in Australia.
We have helped create High Voltage power grids in the world's largest cities, from New York to
Buenos Aires, London, Paris, Madrid, Milan, Rome,
St. Petersburg
, Dubai,
Abu Dhabi
, Singapore and Hong Kong.
In the renewable energy sector, Prysmian is continuously strengthening its world leadership in
cables for offshore wind farms. The Group's technology, covering cables for the operation of wind
turbines, inter-array cables for linking the various turbines and cables for mainland connection,
has allowed Prysmian to become involved in the major projects already developed or under
development, such as
Walney
,
Ormonde
,
Gunfleet Sands
,
Greater Gabbard
and
Thanet
in the UK,
Alpha Ventus
,
HelWin1
and
BorWin2
in Germany, marking a series of milestones in this industry sector.
We support the petrochemicals industry with a wide range of high-tech products. A strategic
technical cooperation agreement with
Petrobras
has introduced Prysmian to the high-tech sector of flexible pipes for oil extraction, which,
combined with our existing production of umbilical cables for offshore oil platforms, allows us to
offer OG&P operators a complete range of SURF (Subsea Umbilical, Riser and Flowline) products
and services. From Brazil to the Gulf of Mexico, from the Caspian Sea to the Arabian Gulf, from the
North Sea to South East Asia, Prysmian cables and systems underpin the Oil & Gas industry's
most important international development projects.
In the transport sector, we have cabled the world's biggest ships, like Royal Caribbean's
GENESIS
fleet, or the fastest trains, like those designed by
Alstom
and Siemens, and most innovative metro systems, like the one in
Istanbul
capable of transporting millions of passengers a day.
In the construction sector, Prysmian's fire-resistant cables can be found in the very heart of
the most spectacular, state-of-the-art developments, like the
Wimbledon
tennis stadium, the
Burj Khalifa
in Dubai, the world's tallest ever building, and Masdar City in the Arab Emirates, the world's
first carbon-neutral city.
In the telecom cables sector, we carry out the most advanced Fibre To The Home projects for
world leaders like
Verizon
in the United States and provide support to major operators in Europe, the Middle East, Asia
and Latin America for their network upgrades. In Russia, the Group has installed a landmark 1,000
km of optical cables thanks to a
record project
for cabling one of Siberia’s largest cities.
Thanks to this unique track record, Prysmian can present itself throughout the world as a
partner of choice for developing infrastructure in two of the most strategic sectors: energy and
telecommunications. |
