8/18/2019 LDD Taboguilla Case Study

1/2

LDD was able to bid and execute the work 

in confidence through the supply of a

complete drilled and driven pile installation

service offering a technically robust and

flexible solution to the client to ensure

foundations were installed to specification.

Using our wealth of expertise within LDD

and linking services within the Acteongroup, we set out to provide our client

Decal Panama with our specialist drive

drill drive service that can deal with variable

and uncertain ground conditions both

efficiently and safely.

Our installation solution negated the

requirement for the client to carry out

further expensive ground investigation

works and/or incur additional material and

programme costs associated with thealternative drilled and grouted pile

installation approach.

When LDD, an Acteon company

providing specialist offshore pile

installation services, first reviewed

details of a jetty extension off

Panama’s Pacific coast, the limited

amount of site specific ground

investigation information could

have presented a real challenge.
