One Team, two sides of the Atlantic 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Today we celebrate the connection that’s grown stronger with every project over the past decade – a bond where British engineering meets American energy to deliver real results.
From Houma to Houston, our local teams combine regional insight with MDL’s global engineering expertise to keep campaigns moving – like the equipment now being mobilised in our Louisiana base for campaigns spanning North and South Americas.
This is what successful partnership looks like: one team, one standard - enabling success the length of the Atlantic.

Happy 4th July to our US colleagues, clients and friends – and the collaborations still to come!

If you're a cable or SURF manufacturer you may be looking ahead with excitement and concern: the demand for your product is surging which means increased production requirements. How do you maximise your output without affecting ongoing operations?
That's another question best answered with a FEED study, helping you identify the most impactful upgrades to your facility that make sense for your budget. Here's an example from a spoolbase in the USA, where a front-end analysis around capability and integration requirements landed on a single, compact but clever system to help meet the OEM's forecast demand head-on: https://loom.ly/ybrQzyg
Innovation

5Te Tensioner Level Winder System | Case Study | MDL MDL delivered a bespoke 5Te tensioner level wind system to improve spooling accuracy at a US flexible spoolbase.

Now available for rent - 110Te line pull enabler
A FEED study helps answer an important scheduling question: does the right solution already exist?
While we're known for developing game-changing technology that works on first application, MDL's approach to innovation has always been about efficiency - including upgrading existing systems to do more and get to work faster.

The MDL Portable Vertical Lay System stands as a proud example. Our original award-winning innovation, enabling vertical lay operations from bare-back vessels of opportunity, is now part of our flexlay fleet as a 110-tonne line pull system. That is extra pulling and deployment power for the more challenging scopes and deeper waters.
