SPIE Industrie & Tertiaire

For more than a decade, SPIE has promoted energy optimisation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat global warming. The Group was the first in its sector to receive energy efficiency certification from the French Association of Electrical Engineering Companies (Syndicat des entreprises de génie électrique et climatique).

SPIE is also a founding member of the French Energy-Efficiency Services Club (Club des services d’efficacité énergétique), an organisation created in November 2005 and funded by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (Agence française de l’environnement et de la maîtrise de l’énergie). The goal of this organisation, whose members include major companies in energy and services, is to communicate with public and private customers to develop the market for energy efficiency.

SPIE plays a direct role in large-scale green projects all across Europe, contributing to the development of renewable sources in the energy mix. To this end, the Group provides its customers with unique expertise on legal, administrative and financial planning, integrating equipment and optimising maintenance.
In this context, SPIE has completed several photovoltaic projects on diverse sites such as farms, fields, hotels and parking lots. Among its major projects: a giant photovoltaic plant in Toul-Rosières (France), which supplies electricity to a city of 62,000 inhabitants. The Group set up the 300 km of cable that link the plant’s 300,000 solar panels to the grid. Near Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), the SPIE Oil & Gas Services subsidiary also contributes to Shams 1, the largest high-concentration solar power plant in the world with a capacity of 100 MW: 258,000 parabolic mirrors across 2.5 km2, capable of supplying 20,000 homes and reducing CO2 emissions by 175,000 tonnes per year.

SPIE employs sophisticated methods and technologies to optimise its customers’ oil production, even under the most complex offshore (deep-water) and onshore (bituminous soil) production conditions.
SPIE also has expertise in oil treatment: on the Jubail site in Saudi Arabia, SPIE is helping to launch one of the world’s largest refineries, with a capacity of 400,000 barrels per day. More than 100 SPIE specialists were allocated to the project (electrical, instrumentation, alarm systems, mechanical parts, piping, etc.). SPIE is also responsible for coordinating all necessary resources for commissioning and managing the delivery schedule to the site.
