In April 2000, B&M's Atlantic Region operation further solidified its reputation as a quality and diversified contracting resource with the acquisition of Land & Sea Instrumentation Ltd., a well-established company focused on supplying a complete instrumentation service. This ranges from on-site instrumentation contracting, to the provision of portable calibration labs built for specific site requirements.

Incorporated in 1993 to initially serve the industrial sector, Land & Sea has developed into one of the region's premier instrumentation service providers with ISO accreditation for both land based and offshore industries.

Based in a new facility built in Woodside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, their range of service expertise includes calibration installation programming and commissioning, and a certified test and measuring equipment rental service. The facility is engineered with temperature/humidity-controlled labs with very high accuracy standards to carry out the calibration and certification of mechanical and electronic test and measurement equipment. Land & Sea currently services more than 700 customers throughout Atlantic Canada.

Land & Sea prides itself on supplying quick on-site response and our parent companies' turnaround demanded by their equally demanding customers, which include Hibernia Gravity Based Offshore Production Facility, Sable Offshore Energy Project, Goldboro Gas Plant, and Point Tupper Fractionation Plant. Land & Sea has ventured from MIL Shipyard in Quebec City to Pasagoula, Mississippi, carrying out instrumentation services on offshore drilling and production platforms.

The Land & Sea staff currently includes 15 hourly and salaried employees. They look forward to the potential for growth in the regions' future prosperity and market challenges with a sense of confidence in knowing that they are a leader in their specialized industry. We welcome the Land & Sea staff to the Black & McDonald team.
