Office d'Equipement Hydraulique de Corse

The Office d'Equipement Hydraulique de Corse (OEHC) is a Corsican hydraulic infrastructure agency headquartered in France. The organization’s name reflects its specialization in hydraulic equipment and related works. OEHC operates within the Corsican region, delivering hydraulic infrastructure services as part of its public mandate. Its core activities involve the provision and maintenance of hydraulic systems for regional water management.

Specific quantitative details regarding the size of OEHC’s workforce, annual budget, or geographic reach are not disclosed in the available sources. Consequently, no explicit figures on the number of employees, volume of projects, or extent of its service area can be stated from the provided information. The organization’s operational footprint is therefore described only in qualitative terms as a regional hydraulic agency serving Corsica.

OEHC’s distinguishing attribute lies in its role as a public agency dedicated to hydraulic infrastructure, which positions it within the broader sector of water management and civil engineering in Corsica. The organization demonstrated a clear adherence to national cybersecurity policy during the Lockbit 3.0 ransomware attack of November 2022, refusing to negotiate with the attackers as advised by French authorities. This incident highlighted OEHC’s reliance on digital systems for client management, financial operations, and historical accounting, all of which were temporarily encrypted across thirty‑three servers. Despite the disruption, the agency reported that critical operational services remained functional and committed to restoring full functionality through internal and external technical efforts.

Ownership or parent‑subsidiary relationships for OEHC are not specified in the material provided, so no definitive statement about its corporate structure can be made. The available information identifies OEHC as a standalone public entity operating under the regional administration of Corsica.
