JDR Cable Systems, a leading global supplier and service provider of subsea cables and part of the TFKable Group, has secured a major service contract from Indian engineering giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for offshore operations in the Middle East.

Under the agreement, JDR will conduct testing on 14 umbilical cables across multiple offshore platforms, focusing on the critical hydraulic and electrical control systems that underpin platform safety and performance.

The work scope includes pre-deployment testing, continuous monitoring during the cable-laying process, and integration testing to ensure the umbilicals operate reliably throughout the installation. Offshore technicians, equipment, and dedicated technical support will be provided by JDR to guarantee proper oversight of the cables at every stage.

The project will be coordinated from JDR’s UK service centre in Newcastle, with a specialist team rotating offshore for multiple mobilisations to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of the work scope.

Alan Combe, Service Sales Manager EMEA at JDR, said, “Securing this contract reflects the strength of our service offering and the capability of our team to deliver technically complex service work in the Middle East. It’s an exciting region, full of opportunity and innovation, and an important part of JDR’s long-term focus. We’re looking forward to working closely with the L&T team throughout the installation and testing phases.”

“The Middle East continues to present strong opportunities for JDR, both for our subsea cables and our service offering,” said Carl Pilmer, Chief Sales Officer at JDR. “As we consolidate our presence in the Middle East, this project is a good example of how we’re supporting customers in the region with reliable and high-quality delivery.”
