Fossil Energy – Umbilical Testing
JDR Cable Systems has been awarded a service contract by Larsen & Toubro (L&T), an Indian multinational engaged in EPC projects, high-tech manufacturing and services.

The work, scheduled to begin in Q2 2025, will see JDR test 14 umbilical cables for offshore platforms in the Middle East, covering two major work scopes across multiple offshore platforms. This includes the testing and monitoring of critical hydraulic and electrical control systems to support operations across the platforms.
JDR’s scope of work will support the safe and efficient operation of the umbilical cables. This includes pre-deployment testing, monitoring during lay operations, and integration testing, with offshore technicians, equipment, and technical support provided throughout the operation to ensure the umbilicals are properly monitored during the installation and integration phases.
The project will be managed from JDR’s UK service centre in Newcastle, with technicians rotating offshore for multiple mobilisations to test the 14 umbilicals.
The specialist team will provide on-site support throughout the process.
