Darlington-based Mech-Tool Engineering (MTE) (
www.mechtool.co.uk), which specialises in offshore protection systems, has been involved in the £1.5 billion Statoil Dudgeon wind farm — designing, making and supplying fire and blast walls for the Norfolk coast development, which Statoil says will power more than 400,000 homes.
Speaking of its work on Dudgeon, which is expected to become operational later this year, a spokesman said the deal was proof of the business’s capability and reputation in the offshore energy sector, adding that it will help to keep the company on its global growth path.
“The project has been recognised throughout the industry for its safety and quality performance, which is why we are very pleased to have been part of it.
“The contract win adds to our already extensive portfolio in supplying world-class fire and blast solutions to major renewable projects across the globe.”
Last year, MTE secured the most valuable deal in its history — a £37 million contract to design and make units for a Kazakhstan oil field development.
The company will design, engineer, make and fit out a field operation office module and 20 enclosures for instruments on the Tengiz oil field.
