Our History, our Values

Geocean was born of a passion for profound courage and solidarity. It embodies a unique human and technical adventure. Founded in 1984 by Pierre Becker, a visionary passionate about seabed, Geocean has filled a gap in France’s expertise in marine projects.

A passion for the sea

The Geocean story began with Pierre Becker, a geologist by training. Dreaming of a company dedicated to exploration and construction in the marine environment, this lover of the sea created Geocean in 1984.

Right from the start, Geocean brought together a team united by a shared love for the sea. For Pierre Becker, Geocean was not just a company but a place of continuous learning where everyone could learn their trade on the job.

Strong values, the foundation of Geocean

Geocean’s founding values are courage, solidarity, and humility. They are reflected in our projects’ strong commitment to customer satisfaction and transparency. From the outset, a relationship of trust is built with each client and within the team, becoming the driving force behind many of our successes. This philosophy has enabled Geocean to forge a solid reputation and carry out ambitious projects nationally and internationally.

Over the decades, Geocean has maintained its initial philosophy but has given itself the means to evolve.

These values complement those of our standard base shared by all wiyhin VINCI Construction Grands Projets.
