Lidderdale
Managing Director
LOGANEnergy® Ltd. Europe John
Lidderdale is a mechanical engineer who has spent a large portion
of his working life involved in the offshore construction industry,
initially in the North Sea and subsequently in Canada and the
South Atlantic. He was involved in the development of the Forties
and Ninian oilfields and the Frigg gas pipeline system. He was
the joint originator, along with an American engineer, of the
offshore flowline bundling technique, now in fairly common use
and developed the site at Wester in Scotland that is now part
of the Halliburton Group. John was also responsible for the
development and proving of the tow method that enabled these
shore-built systems to be safely delivered to offshore locations.
More recently he was responsible, jointly with Derek Fletcher
of High-Point Rendel, for developing a unique cold venting system,
fully compliant with API-rp-521. These systems are now in use
on many offshore structures. His involvement in alternative
energy has been long standing. He first drove a hydrogen powered
car in April 1974, was project manager for a 14 MWe wind farm
installation in 1987, and was Vice-President of International
Sales at SurePower Corporation who were among the first to make
a multi Fuel Cell (4 x 200 kW) run successfully as an ultra-high-availability
power source.
