LDD, an Acteon company, has been contracted by McConnell Dowell to supply specialist pile-top drilling equipment and personnel for the installation of 1050- and 1200-mm diameter piles at the new Roy Hill iron ore export facility at Port Hedland, Western Australia. The piles will be installed using the Drive Drill Drive technique.

The project, which is scheduled to run for seven months, will utilise LDD’s industry-leading technology during the construction of the iron ore marine export facilities for the new Roy Hill project. McConnell Dowell awarded the contract to LDD on the strength of LDD’s performance on previous projects in the region, its ongoing relationship and because of LDD’s position as a leader in Drive Drill Drive techniques.
