Saipem launches “The Ingenuity” a new podcast project to tell and show, in a simple and popular language, the challenges, innovations and pioneering solutions developed by the company in more than 65 years of activity in the field of engineering at the service of the energy sector.
Produced in collaboration with Chora Media, an Italian podcast company, the podcast series includes 4 episodes broadcasted in full edition on all major streaming platforms, as well as on the Saipem website (at the following link https://www.saipem.com/en/about-us/saipem-podcast) and the Chora Media website.
Each episode hosts both Saipem’s internal professionals and external experts.
The inspiration for the podcast series rises from Primo Levi's definition of Saipem’s people as “men of many-sided ingenuity” in a report he wrote following a visit he made in 1980 aboard the Saipem vessel Castoro 6. The podcast develops on the excellence in engineering expressed by Saipem in bringing to fruition, in all eras, technical challenges and infrastructure projects that have made history, contributing decisively to the energy sector worldwide, both offshore and onshore.
The series revolves around four key words: “engineering,” “innovation,” “technology,” and “commitment,” alternating the narrative of the most representative exploits of yesterday and today with the wide-ranging reflections on these four themes, to tell all areas of Saipem's business with an eye to the future.
From the construction of Transmed, the first gas pipeline to connect Tunisia and Italy, to the Blue Stream crossing the Black Sea from Russia to Turkey, through which Saipem set two important records for deepest installation; from the Castoro 12 vessel, designed and built in two halves to be able to reach the Caspian Sea from the Black Sea by crossing the channel connecting the Volga River with the Don River for the Kashagan project in the Caspian Sea, to the Saipem 7000, one of the largest crane vessel in the world today engaged in the installation of offshore wind fields and a symbol for Saipem of the energy transition; from the Scarborough subsea pipelaying project, just completed in Australia with the Castorone pipelaying vessel, to the autonomous subsea robots operating and working up to 3.000 meters deep to survey infrastructure at the bottom of the sea: the podcast focuses on the passion, stories, challenges and major achievements in a journey into innovation and engineering at the service of a sustainable future.
