Our design office offers our French customers and foreign
countries an optimized management and support
technical adapted to your project.
Our areas of expertise
— Project and engineering management
Because we pay particular attention to your needs, EMPENNAN is committed to providing you with a complete follow-up. Thus, we support you on the technical aspects as well as on the project management.
Our design office supports all stakeholders in the implementation and management of the planning, budget monitoring, external resource management, internal and customer communication, etc.
— Pressure equipment
Pressure equipment is one of EMPENNAN’s greatest skills. We assist you during the engineering and procurement phases for the design of pressure equipment, layout, mechanical and piping interfaces, and interface forces.
We manufacture and certify pressure equipment. Our team complies with the European directive PED 2014/68/EU – or the American ASME standard. For European rules, our design is based on the CODAP, CODETI and EN 13480 construction code.

We design Air, Nitrogen, CO2, Natural Gas or Hydrogen compatible assemblies to serve all our customers.
