About the company

Subsea7 is a company of Norwegian origin, based in the United Kingdom, a global leader in the delivery of offshore projects and services for the energy industry and its offshore operations span five decades (in Brazil we have been for over 35 years), successfully concluding more than 1,000 projects.

Working in all water depths across all energy centers, engineering expertise, alliances and specialist technologies enable the company to be involved from the outset in designing and delivering global solutions to customers with safe and reliable delivery. In addition, Subsea7 is committed to making the offshore energy transition possible through the continued evolution of low-carbon oil and gas and enabling the growth of renewables and emerging energies.

With the growth of operations in Brazil, it became necessary to expand the office capacity to accommodate more than 1,000 employees at its headquarters located in Porto Maravilha, the port area of Rio de Janeiro. The challenging project was the responsibility of the facilities department, with coordinator Ana Nascimento as manager, and should include platform-type workstations, areas with acoustic characteristics, collaborative spaces, coffee areas, meeting and management rooms, restaurant and training rooms.

Sustainability was a crucial factor in the project

SubSea7 was concerned with sustainable and responsible solutions. This ranged from simple things, such as taking advantage of rainwater, to larger actions, such as ensuring that all offshore operations were designed so as not to harm the environment.

The project showed that it is possible to create work spaces that respect nature. With measures such as correct waste management and protection of marine life, the company has shown that sustainability and business can go hand in hand. This is important not only for SubSea7, but serves as an example for everyone in the market.

When asked about the most notable aspects of the project, we received the following response from Subsea7:

“In a constantly evolving energy industry, one of the most significant challenges we face is the growing demand that society places on the ability to supply energy sources in a sustainable and responsible way”

This commitment to sustainable actions was one of Subsea7’s main requirements for the project. Attention to the environment and the search for eco-efficient solutions proved to be fundamental and were aligned with the objective of creating a space that met current needs without compromising future generations.
