New Case Study for Etame Marin Block Jacket Installation Service Project

We have posted a case study of our most recently completed project on our website  

Read it here!

LDD worked closely with our client EMAS AMC to install 2 No jacket foundations offshore Gabon earlier this year.

Tom O’Malley
Project Manager, EMAS, said “The LDD project team worked extremely well with the EMAS team on a very significant part of our Etame/SEENT platform installation.  The work was executed in a safe manner and the offshore team should be commended for their work.  EMAS looks forward to an opportunity to work with LDD again.”

LDD gets teams together for a day of training

Trying to get all the teams together at LDD and LMH is a difficult task, but with most people confirmed for the day our HR Manager took us out of the office and out of our comfort zones to learn more about each other and to improve the communication across the company.


Starting on Gyllyngvase Beach in Falmouth, Cornwall, we were put in teams and raced to build the tallest sandcastle...luckily the sun shone and although fun it revealed a lot of things about each team member and also uncovered the more competitive side in people at LDD!  Naturally, we let our MD win that race!
